Reproduction Flashcards
Perimenopause
Vasomotor: Hot flushes, night sweat
mental: depression, anxiety, tension, loss of libido, mental confusion
Genitourinary symptoms: vaginal dryness, atrophic changes
Bone: osteoporosis
sex determination
Male: mesonephric, Wolffian
Female: paramesonephric, Mullerian
Male infertility
Oligospermia
Azoospermia
Immotile
Treatment of azoospermia
Testicular biopsy + ICSI
What situation use IVF?
Sperm amount reduced → but sperm still can motile(swim)
what situation use ICSI?
Sperm unable to motile and azoospermia → biopsy take sperm from testes → ICSI inject into ova
Result of Spermiogenesis
Fully mature sperm
Hypothalamus(GnRH- Gonadotrophin releasing hormone) → Anterior Pituitary → Gonadotroph → FSH(follicle stimulating hormone) + LH(Luteinising hormone → (LH pathway) → blood stream → testes → bind receptor of Leydig cells(outside seminiferous tubules) → Testosterone(Dihydrotestosterone → second characteristics) → FSH(follicle stimulating hormone) pathway → blood stream → testes → bind receptor of Sertoli cell(inside seminiferous tubules) → Androgen binding protein(provide soluble in water for testosterone - can travel in blood) → Testosterone + Sertoli cells → Fully mature sperm(androgen binding protein binds to testosterone to support production of sperm) → Testosterone negative feedback to hypothalamus(level down GnRH produce) + anterior pituitary(Gonadotroph)(down regulate FSH and LH) → Inhibin(when FSH touch Sertoli cell, production) → anterior pituitary down regulate FSH
What is this process?
Spermatogenesis
Spermatogonia do not develop to sperm without testosterone
Dihydrotestosterone can cause
aggressiveness, libedo hair growth, baldness
Whole process about sperm ejection
Hypothalamus(GnRH- Gonadotrophin releasing hormone) → Anterior Pituitary → Gonadotroph → FSH(follicle stimulating hormone) + LH(Luteinising hormone → (LH pathway) → blood stream → testes → bind receptor of Leydig cells(outside seminiferous tubules) → Testosterone(Dihydrotestosterone → second characteristics) → FSH(follicle stimulating hormone) pathway → blood stream → testes → bind receptor of Sertoli cell(inside seminiferous tubules) → Androgen binding protein(provide soluble in water for testosterone - can travel in blood) → Testosterone + Sertoli cells → Fully mature sperm(androgen binding protein binds to testosterone to support production of sperm) → Testosterone negative feedback to hypothalamus(level down GnRH produce) + anterior pituitary(Gonadotroph)(down regulate FSH and LH) → Inhibin(when FSH touch Sertoli cell, production) → anterior pituitary down regulate FSH → Sperm into seminiferous tubules → Rete testis → efferent duct → epididymis(sperm can motile and fertilize in this stage, also reabsorbed liquid from around to concentrated) → Ductus vas deferens(45 cm long, store couple month) → Ejaculatory duct(over urinary bladder) with seminal vesicles[alkaline, fructose as energy(push sperm to the ovary & uterine), prostaglandins, clotting proteins(stick on vagina to make sure fertilize occurs), after sperm ejected from ductus vas deferens, the content of seminal vesicles empty immediately wash sperm down the ejaculatory duct(push force)] and prostate[prostate fluid(acidic, milky colour, phosphate and calcium, citrate for ATP, prostate specific antigen and some enzymes, neutralised in semen) into urethra during ejaculation] → prostate urethra(20 cm long), sperm, content of seminal vesicle, prostate fluid → urethra → ejaculation
Erection release?
NO and prostaglandin E1
Erection
Blood fills cavernous spaces of corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum → NO and prostaglandin E1 relax smooth muscle of the corpora cavernosa → erection(erect penis contains 8 times blood volume of flaccid penis)
Relax smooth muscle in corpora cavernosa require cGMP(Guanosine Monophosphate, also is second messenger reduce intracellular calcium), phosphodiesterase breaks down GMP
True or False?
True
Viagra principle
inhibits phosphodiesterase(type 5) → increase GMP(guanosine monophosphate) → relax artery(vasodilation) → blood go to corpora cavernosa → erection
