sperm and eggs
Indifferent Gonads
5-7 weeks
germ cells from yolk sac
thickening of medial meonephros to from genital ridge
Migration of germ Cells along dorsal Mesentery
Week 4
Germ cells into primary sex cords
Week 6
Gonadal Ridge
From proliferating epithelium and mesenchyme
Gonad
external cortex, internal medulla
Sex Determination
Week 7
SRY gene in Y chromosome to produce TDF
Testes From Sex cords?
sex cords»_space; Seminiferous cords»_space; tubules»_space; rete testes
Interstitial Cells of Leydig
adjacent to seminiferous tubules, produce testosterone
Week 8
Sertoli Cells
Part of Sem tubule, produce sperm, suppress mullein ducts (AMH)
MIS inhibits parames ducts
Mesonephric tubules in Males
Ree Testis
Mesonephric Duct in Males
Efferent Ductules, Ductus Epididymis, Ductus Deferens
Wolffian Ducts
Paramesonephric Ducts
Mullerian Ducts
Seminal Vesicle
along the ejaculatory duct, nourished the sperm
Prostate Derivation
Endodermal outgrowths surrounding mesenchyme
Transports sperm while giving it fluid for semen
Bulbourethral Glands
outgrowths of spongy urethra
contribute to semen
