Repro III Flashcards
1st branchial pouch
middle ear, eustachian tube, mastoid air cells
2nd branchial pouch
epithelial lining palatine tonsil
3rd branchial pouch
dorsal wings - inferior parathyroids
ventral wings - thymus
3rd go below 4th
4th branchial pouch
dorsal wing - superior parathyroid
digeorge syndrome
aberrant develop 3rd and 4th branchial pouches
get thymic aplasia and hypocalcemia
-thymus and parathyroid
also - cardiac defects
MEN2a
RET mutation - neural crest
adrenal medulla - pheochromocytoma
medullary thyroid cancer - parafollicle cells - pouch 4/5
-parathyroid tumor - pouch 3/4
cleft lip
failure fusion maxillary and medial nasal process
formation of primary palate
cleft palate
failure fusion of two lateral palatine processes
failure fusion of lateral palatine process with nasal septum and median palatine process
SRY gene
on Y chromosome
-code testis determining factor
1 stimulate sertoli cell
- release mullerian inhibitory factor
- degeneration of paramesonephric nullerian duct - female internal
2 stimulate leydig cell
- release testosterone
- testosterone causes wolffian duct to form male internal genital
- testosterone converted to DHT - 5a reductase
- DHT causes male external genital and prostate formation
paramesonephric duct
mullerian
female internal genitalia
-fallopian tube, uterus, upper vagina
agenesis - primary amenorrhea despite secondary sex characters - functional ovaries
mesonephric duct
wolffian
male internal genitalia
-seminal vesicle, epididymis, ejac duct, ductus deferens
SEED
septate uterus
incomplete resorption of septum
low fertility
-tx - septoplasty
bicornuate uretus
incomplete fusion mullerian duct
risk complicated pregnancy
uterus didelphys
complete fail fusion mullerian duct
double uterus, vagina, and cervix
genital tubercle
male - glans penis and corpus cavernosum/spongiosum
femal - glans clitoris and vestibular bulbs
urogenital sinus
male - bulbourethral gland and prostate
female - greater vestibular gland - bartholin
urethral and paraurethral gland - skene
