repro Flashcards
cells responsible for aromatization of androstenedione to estrogens via aromatase
granulosa cells
DNA replication and synthesis of enzymes necessary for replication occurs during the
G1 phase
androgen binding protein
produced by Sertoli cells in seminiferous tubules under direction of FSH
- facilitates spermatogenesis by binding to testosterone and concentrating it in the lumen of the tubules
converts testosterone to DHT
5 - alpha hydroxylase
- mediates development of external genitalia in males
- deficiency means males with virilization
21- hydroxlyase deficicency
virililzation in females not males
CFTR infertility is caused by
due to absent vas deferens
Sertoli cells suppress ____
female internal organ development by producing anti mullerian hormone
uterine leiomyoma
constipation(from fibroid pressure on the colon), pelvic pressure, irregularly enlarged uterus
testicular torsion
- anatomic defect causing increased mobility of the testes
- acute severe unilateral scrotal pain
- scrotal edema and discoloration
- high riding testicle
- absent cremasteric reflex when stroking the ipsilateral thigh
prostatectomy can cause
erectile dysfunction due to accidental damage of the inferior hypogastric plexus
inflammatory breast cancer
- peau d orange erythematous rash with dimpling over breast
- cancerous cells obstructing lymphatic drainage/dermal lymphatic edema
5 alpha reductase inhibitors
finasteride, dutasteride
- block conversion of testosterone to DHT
- decrease prostate volume in benign prostatic hyperplasia and relieve bladder outlet obstruction
Fat necrosis
Trauma to breast, fibrosis and foamy cell infiltration, lymphocytosis
Fat Fucked up breast Fibrosis
Acute mastitis
Milk stasis in breastfeeding women, may be infected with staph aureus; continue breast feeding
Fibroadenoma
Most common benign breast tumor, cells in staghorn arrangement, size varies with estrogen exposure
FibROADenoma, road is where you find deer/stag
Intraductal papilloma
Serous/ bloody nipple discharge , usually unilateral, fibrovascular stalk
Duct of sewer (crime scene) that’s stalking victim and made bloody scene that’s serous/serious
Phyllodes tumor
Leaf like pattern
ChloroPHYL - in leaves
Ductal carcinoma in situ
Has e cadherin, myoepithelial layer, calcifications
Most common malignant breast tumor
Invasive ductal carcinoma
Invasive ductal carcinoma
Cannonball appearance, big nodule
Cannonball is very invasive
Paget disease of breast
-Arises from ductal carcinoma in situ
-Eczematous scaly lesion on breast
- intraepithelial adenocarcinoma
-Paget cells have clear halos (pageant girls wear halo crowns)
prostatectomy can result in
erectile dysfunction via loss of inferior hypogastric nerves and pelvic and sacral splanchnic nerves
action of LH
stimulates the release of testosterone from leydig cells
Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction
systemic inflammatory response that occurs hours after injection of an antibiotic (ex. penicillin for syphilis) due to rapid lysis of spirochetes
