Q

Is mesonephros the second attempt of the embryo to make an excretory duct? & what’s its lifespan

A

Yes! Its lifespan is substantial & it adopts the paranephic ducts. Becomes mesonephric duct

Q

SAME FOR MALES & FEMALES: Where do primordial germ cells populate during early embryonic development?

A

Yolk sac to protect them from differentiation processes. They eventually migrate back into embryo through parts of GIT

Q

MALES: What happens when the mesonephros starts to deteriorate?

A

Tubules also begin to deteriorate except about 12. These provide connectivity from mesonephric duct to rete testis

A

Yes

25
Q

FEMALES: does the rete ovarii communicate with mesonephric tubules?

A

No

26
Q

FEMALES: do mesonephric tubules degenerate?

A

Yes but paramesonephric duct stays & is developed

27
Q

FEMALES: the mesenchyme starts to organize around primordial follicles and contributes which cell type?

A

What becomes thecal cells

28
Q

FEMALE:Germ cells live in which part of the gonad

A

Cortex

29
Q

FEMALE: what part of the gonad contains the rete ovarii & is there outside communication?

A

Medulla & no

30
Q

FEMALES: the mesovarium brings ________ to the gonad

A

Blood supply - exception to NO outside communication with rete ovarii as communicates through lymph

31
Q

Things in gonadal development that are same in female & male

A

-presence of coelomic epithelium
- cell cords invade into mesenchyme
- presence of mesonephric & paramesonephric ducts

32
Q

MALE: suspensory ligament of gonad comes off the

A

Cranial pole of gonad

33
Q

MALE:The gubernaculum comes off

A

The caudal pole of the gonad

34
Q

MALE: The gubernaculum runs from the __________ to the _________

A

Caudal pole of gonad through the inguinal ring

35
Q

MALE: Gubernaculum function

A

Guides descent of testi into scrotum

36
Q

FEMALE: Gubernaculum function

A

Kinda nothing as it does NOT provide function of guiding ovary into scrotum however, it is present

37
Q

FEMALE: which species are gonads most caudal?

A

Ruminants <3

38
Q

FEMALE: where is the proper ligament of artery located?

A

Gubernaculum to where uterus crosses

39
Q

FEMALES: what is the round ligament of uterus & where does it go?

A

Remnant of gubernaculum running from uterus toward inguinal ring

40
Q

FEMALE: in some cases, the round ligament of uterus goes through the

A

Inguinal ring. If it does, called the vaginal process

41
Q

Females: can the female dog get inguinal hernias

A

Yes bc inguinal ring remains open

42
Q

What is the shelf of tissue

A

Area that divides urogential tract + GIT

43
Q

What do cloacal folds become

A

Urogenital opening after shelf of tissue divides the urogenital + GIT opening

44
Q

Do males & females have cloacal folds

A

Yes at beginning

45
Q

Do males and females have genital tubercles?

A

Yes
