Q

What does the paramesonephric duct form in females?

A

Uterus
Fallopian tubes
Uterus
Cervix

17
Q

What does the urogenital sinus form in females?

A

Bladder

Lower part of vagina

18
Q

How is testes formation determined genetically?

A

Sex determining region Y on Y chromosome leads to development of Sertoli cells
Sertoli secrete Mullerian-inhibiting-substance
Paramesonephric duct degenerates
MIS causes Leydig cell formation
Testosterone –> MAN

19
Q

Where do the Seminal Vesicles originate?

A

Outgrowth from the end of the mesonephric duct

20
Q

Where does the prostate originate?

A

Outgrowth from urethra (urogenital sinus)

21
Q

The indifferent gonad develops into what by default?

A

Ovary

22
Q

What protein causes testis formation?

A

TDF - Testis determining factor (encoded in SRY on Y chromosome)

23
Q

How many primordial follicles do females have at birth?

A

2 Million

24
Q

How many follicles are developed per menstrual cycle?

A

12-15 days

25
Q

Absence of testosterone causes what in the tubular components?

A

Degeneration of mesonephros + mesonephric duct

Paramesonephric duct develops

26
Q

The cranial end of the paramesonephric duct forms what?

A

Ovary

27
Q

The caudal end of the paramesonephric duct forms what?

A

Uterus

Superior part of vagina

28
Q

What forms the inferior part of the vagina?

A

Urogenital sinus

29

At what vertebral level do the gonads form?

A

T10

30

Outline the descent of the testis?

A

Wk 7 - T10
Wk 12 - Deep inguinal ring
Wk 39 - Enters scrotum

31
Q

Outline the descent of the Ovary?

A

Wk 7 - T10
Wk 12 - Broad ligament

Undecended
Ectopic
Retractile
Absent
33
Q

What complications are associated with Cryptorchidism?
