Q

How does mesonephric kidney form?

A

tubules come from mesonephric ridge and mesonephric (wolfian) duct. Aorta buds off glomerulus and the attaching tubules form the Bowan’s capsule

Q

How does adrenal gland form?

A

there’s first a wave of epithelial cells that dive into intermediate mesoderm, then the NC follow, and finally a second wave of epithelial cells make mature cortex. NC innervated by SNS form medulla. During 2nd trimester the cortex grows and produces steroids to help maintain pregancy. After birth the cortex regresses a little.

A

germ cells appear in yolk sac by 4th wk, then they go through mitosis to form genital ridge ontop nephrenic ridge, then either mesonephric (wolffian) or paramesonephric ducts will come from cortex and cover the germ cells

67
Q

vesicular prolapse

A

cystocele

68
Q

germinal epithelium

A

simple cuboidal

69
Q

how does fsh affect follicular growth?

A

it initiates puberty, by growth of the oocyte
proliferation and changes in the follicular cells
proliferation and differentiation of the stromal
fibroblasts around the follicle and each month there’s one dominant follicle

70
Q

What are layers of multilaminar primary follicle?

A

Granulosa cells= stratified follicular
gap junctions and basal lamina; secrete antrumx
Zona pellucida = glycoproteins
ZP1 to 4 – acrosomal activation
Filipodia (G) and microvilli (O)
gap junctions through ZP

71
Q

How dp granulosa and theca interna combine endocrine function?

A

theca interna make androsteneedione and granulosa produce aromatase this allows production of estradiol which returns to theca vasculature

72
Q

how long does it take primordial to become graffian

A

90 days

73
Q

What is functions of FsH and LH in menstrual cycle?

A

Pituitary gland releases FSH which stimulates primordial follicles to grow. As concentrations increase, this causes proliferation, differentiation, and granulosa/theca secretion of progesterone/estrogen. LH causes PG release to cause uterine “broth” release and theca externa contraction. Progesterone, LH, FSH all weaken the cumulus oophorus causing egg to exit

74
Q

When does oocyte do meiotic divisions?

A

completes first meiotic division right before ovulation to equally divide chromosomes. Secondary oocyte and first polar body enter oviduct where it does second meiotic division after fertilization and arrests in metaphase

75
Q

theca lutein (interna) make…

A

progesterone and androstendione (estrogen)

76
Q

granulosa lutein make…

A

aromatase to convert androstenedione into estradiol

77
Q

what increases as corpus lutem becomes corpus albicans

A

fsh because estrogen from luteum was inhibiting fsh

78
Q

Progesterone role in pregnancy:

A

thickening of endometrium, stimulate growth of breast tissue, strengthen cervical mucus plug, keeps the uterus from contracting

79
Q

Epithelium of Uterine tube

A

Folded mucosa with Thick muscularis. Simple cloumnar non ciliated with peg cells. Cilia begin to grow from estrogen during follicular growth and loose during secretory phase

80
Q

secretes glycoproteins for capacitation

A

peg cells

81
Q

What causes process of menses?

A

Arcuate arteries of myometrium give off two types of branches, spiral in the functional endometrium and straight in basal. When Progesterone decreases in the menstrual phase, it decreases because corpus lutem regresses. Spiral arteries spasm and this causes ischemia. Also PGs increases causing functional layer to sloth off

82
Q

Proliferative Phase

A

occurs with follicular development. Estrogens from theca interna of corpus luteum induces proliferation of basal glands. There’s straight glands with empty lumen. Spiral arteries lengthen and increase surface microvasculature

83
Q

Secretory Phase

A

Corpus luteum secretes progesterone. Progesterone stimulates glandular epithelium to secrete glycogen/glycoproteins. Glands with secretions
in the dilated lumen. Progesterone inhibits myometrial contractions

84
Q

Endometrial cells reflux and grow on the oviducts or ovaries. Estrogen and progesterone influence the monthly growth and degeneration of this ectopic tissue. Causes pelvic pain, produces inflammation, ovarian cysts, adhesions, and scar tissue

A

endometriosis

85
Q

Noncancerous arising from uterine smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. Made of Large amount of extracellular matrix surrounded by loose areolar connective tissue and compressed muscle fibers.
Increased menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure/pain and sometimes infertility

A

Uterine Fibroids

86
Q

how do cervical secretions change?

A

ovulation = watery because we want sperm to come, luteal phase = viscous due to progesterone because we need to prepare uterine lining before infiltration, and in pregnancy = “plug”
cervical glands proliferate

87
Q

This stimulates the vaginal epithelia to accumulate glycogen

A

estrogen

88
Q

Modified apocrine sweat gland with tubuloacinar cells

A

mammary glands (simple cuboidal) which are organized into lobules and connect to lactiferous duct (stratified)

89
Q

What is flow of sperm?

A

Seminiferous tubules> tubuli recti> rete testis>efferent ducts>epididymis>vas deferens>ejaculatory duct>urethra

90
Q

secrete MIS, protect germ cells via blood testis barrier (tight junctions), and are regulated by FSH

A

sertoli cells

91
Q

What are growth stages of sperm?

A

type A sperm go to type B progenitors, they go through mitosis to become primary spermatocyte, they do first meiotic division to give secondary spermatocytes, and those go through second meiotic division to give off spermatid. Spermatids go through spermiogenesis which is them elongating, getting crazy flagella, form acrosome, and while producing residual bodies. Mature sperm = spermatozoa
