Lecture 9 - reproductive system development Flashcards
from which embryological germ layer is the reproductive system derived
intermediate mesoderm
the intermediate mesoderm swells to form the
urogenital ridge
urogenital ridge differentiates into
genital ridge and nephrogenic cord/ridge
outline the migratory oath that the primordial germ cells take to reach the genital (gonadal) ridges
wall of yolk sac > dorsal mesentery > gonadal ridge
which week does the primordial germ cells reach the gonadal ridge
6-7 week
genetic sex of an individual determined at
fertilization
gonad development begins with a __ stage
indifferent stage
gonads do not begin to acquire specific morphological characteristics (male/female) until the __ week
7th week
what are the two ducts shared by male/female genital systems during indifferent phase
mesonephric (Wolffian) duct and paramesonephric (Mullerian) duct
if embryo genetically male, primordial germ cells carry __ chromosome complex
XY
Y chromosome house __ gene which encodes for tests-determining factor (TDF)
SRY
the testis cords are composed of what two components
primitive germ cells and sertoli cells (sustentacular cells)
sertoli cells produce what hormone
anti-mullerian hormone or mullerian inhibiting substance
which hormone inhibits female genital ducts from forming
anti-mullerian hormone
__ cells lie in between testis cords and produce testosterone
Leydig cells
in male, most of __ duct persists, forming main genital ducts
mesonephric (wolffian) duct
testosterone, produced by Leydig cells, stimulates __ to develop
genital ducts
paramesonephric (mullerian) ducts degenerate under the influence of
AMH/MIS (anti-mullerian hormone)
the testes develop __ in the abdomen
retroperitoneally
which abdominal muscle does NOT contribute a layer covering the testis
transversus abdominis m.
as the testis descends through inguinal ring, it gets covered by
processus vaginalis
- visceral and parietal layer of tunica vaginalis
transversalis fascia (internal spermatic fascia)
internal abdominal oblique muscle (cremasteric fascia and muscle)
external oblique muscle (external spermatic fascia
as the testis descends through inguinal ring, it gets covered by ___,visceral and parietal layer of tunica vaginalis
processus vaginalis
as the testis descends through inguinal ring, it gets covered by ___, internal spermatic fascia
transveralis fascia
as the testis descends through inguinal ring, it gets covered by ___, cremasteric fascia and muscle
internal abdominal oblique m.
