Repro Flashcards
Point in time when fetus is most at risk to teratogens? Why?
3-8 weeks dt organgenesis taking place
What secretes MIF during male devo?
Sertoli cells
Male devo process?
What cell types make what hormone? What do they do?
SRY gene of Y chromo produces TDF (testes devo factor)
From this comes:
Sertoli–>MIF–l Female devo
Leydig—>Androgens–>Male devo (testo=internal male, DHT=external male genitalia)
Bicornate Uterus: how? Presentation?
Failure of fusion of the paramesonephric ducts. Repeated miscarages
Most common cause of developing both male and female internal genitalia and male external
No sertoli cells thus get devo of both paramesonephric and mesonephric ducts
5 alpha reductase def phenotype?
Cannot convert Test into DHT thus ambigus gentilia until puberty when you have enough of a surge to promote virulization
Gubernaculum in females
Ovarian ligament and round ligament
Broad ligament. Contains?
“Wing” between the Fallopian tube, ovaries and Uterus.
Contains Round ligament inside it
Suspensatory Ligament (Infundibulopelvic ligament) of ovaries. Contains?
Connects ovaries to lateral pelvic wall.
Contains Ovarian vessels (need to be ligated before ophorectomy). Ureter courses retroperitoneally and risk for injury during ligation.
Cardinal Ligament. Contains?
Connects cervix (C-ardnial C-ervix) to pelvic wall. Contains Uterine Vessels (risk during hysterectomy)
Round ligament. Contains?
Uterine fundus to labia majora (contination of Suspensatory ligament and female version of gubernaculum).
Contains nothing
Ovarian ligament? Contains?
Medial Ovary to lateral uterus (derivative of gubernaculum)
Contains nothing.
Pathway of Sperm during ejaculation?
SEVEN UP
Seminiferous tubules, Epididymis, Vas Deferens, Ejaculatory Ducts, (Nothing), Urethra, Penis
Gene associated with high rates of endometrial cancer?
PTEN mutations
Post menopausal bleeding?
Cancer until proven otherwise.
Uterine Contraction?
Uterine Relaxation?
Contraction: PG and Oxytocin
Relaxation: B2
