Q

Gender role

A

Psychological characteristics that are sexually dimorphic

30
Q

Gender dissatisfaction

A

Unhappiness with one’s assigned gender

31
Q

Sexual orientation

A

Direction of erotic enterest

32
Q

Mesonephric duct

A

A duct off of the mesonephros that presists and contributes to male gonadic structures

33
Q

Where do gonads develop?

A

Gonadal fold of the mesonephric ridges

34
Q

Mesonephric ridge

A

A ridge that is the site of gonad development in the gonadal fold and the two ducts in the tubal fold

35
Q

What are the four cell lines that contribute to the gonads?

A

Proliferating celomic epithelium, underlying mesonephric mesenchyme, angiogenic mesenchyme, primordial germ cells

36
Q

Primordial germ cells

A

Germ cells that are not yet differentiated into male or female

37
Q

Wolffian duct

A

Mesonephric duct, develops into the efferent ductules in males

38
Q

Mullerian duct

A

Paramesonephric duct, contributes to the fallopian tubes in females

39
Q

How do seminiferous tubules develop?

A

PGCs and Sertoli cells migrate in; smooth muscle develops from mesonephric mesenchyme

40
Q

How do the efferent ductules develop?

A

Mesonephric duct

41
Q

How do the rete testis develop?

A

They are derived from mesonephric mesenchyme

42
Q

How dooes the interstitial tissue between seminiferous tubules develop?

A

They develop from mesonephric mesenchyme

43
Q

How do the epididymis and ductus deferens develop?

A

They are derived from the mesonephric duct

44
Q

How do follicular cells develop?

A

They are formed from cortical sex cords

45
Q

What does the mesonephric mesenchym make in females?

A

Rete ovarii and stromal cells of the cortex

46
Q

How does the indiferrent state differentiate into male gonads?

A

Testosterone secretion by Leydig cells acts on the mesonephric duct to preserve it
Sertoli cells secrete Anti-Mullerian hormone to degrade to paramesophrenic duct

47
Q

How does the indfiferent state differentiate into female gonads?

A

Lack of testosterone degrades the mesonephric duct; the paramesonephric duct is preserved

48
Q

How are the vagina and cervix formed?

A

In females, the paramesonephric ducts fuse in the midline

49
Q

Urticle of the prostate

A

Remnant of the vagina in males

50
Q

Genital tubercle

A

The indifferent external genital

51
Q

How do the external male genitalia develop?

A

Testosterone secretion promotes growth of the genital tubercle which lengthens the phallus, urethral folds, and urethral groove; the urethral folds fuse to form spongy urethra

52
Q

How do the external female genitalia develop?

A

The genital tubercle differentiates into the glans clitoris and develops corpora cavernosa clitoris; the UG sinus splits into urethral opening and the vagina

53
Q

Urethral meatus

A

The opening of the urethra on the penis

54
Q

Hypospadias

A

Abnormal location of urethral meatus

55
Q

Phimosis

A

The characteristic of the foreskin not being retracted

56
Q

Desquamation plane

A

The plane between the glans and prepuce of the penis that forms over years of death and shredding of outer layers

57
Q

What determines the genetic sex?

A

The presence or absence of the Y chromosome

58
Q

What determines the gonadal sex?

A

The presence or absence of the SRY gene (if absent, other appropriate genes need to be turned on to form ovaries)

59
Q

How does the anti-Mullerian hormone affect male secondary sex traits?

A

It degenerates the Mullerian duct

60
Q

How does testosterone affect male secondary sex traits?

A

It maintains the Wolffian duct, promotes the development of the prostate and external genitalia, and promotes the formation of hairs and sebaceous glands

61
Q

Besides the lack of anti-Mullerian hormone and testosterone, what is needed to develop female secondary sex traits?

A

Estrogen secretion to promote the development of breast tissue and external genitalia

62
Q

Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome

A

Testosterone has no effect on the body; the person is externally female but internally male (the Wolffian duct is in place)

63
Q

5Alpha-reductate deficiency

A

Testosterone cannot affect the external genitalia development properly; female genitalia present until puberty

64
Q

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

A

Testosterone produced in abundance by adrenal glands in chromosomal females; leads to ambiguous external genitalia

65
Q

Detrusor muscle

A

The muscular propria of the bladder

66
Q

Urothelium

A

The epithelium that lines the bladder

67
Q

Pubovesicle ligament

A

A ligament that wraps around the neck of the bladder and attaches to the pubis.

68
Q

Rectal Ampulla

A

The inferior border of the rectum

69
Q

Pectinate line

A

The line that is a third of the way down from the anorectal junction; it is a remnant of the proctoduem

70
Q

Proctoduem

A

Where the cloacal membrane in the embryo opened into the endoderm-derived gut tube

71
