Q

male gonads

Q

male testes descent

A

1) Testosterone release from fetal testes
2) Shorten gubernaculum (cord of muscle)
3) Decent completed usually by 7th mnth of gestation
a) Testes descent (rear of abdominal cavity)
4) descent on 2 sides of scrotum

Q

why testes needs to descent

A

• Spermatogenesis
• Temperature sensitive
• Cannot occur at normal body temp
• 35*C (<2)

(Temperature to produce viable sperms)

Q

when does spermatogenesis occurs?

A

PUBERTY

Q

spermatogenesis HORMONES, cells and duration

A

inhibin (from sertoli cell)
- nutrients for sperm prod, support

Testosterone (Leydig cell)

germ cells at various stage of differentiation, each take 64 days, does not occur synchrously

Q

hormones in puberty (male)

A

Testosterone (Leydig cell)

GnRH (Gonadotropic-releasing hormone) (hypo)

LH (luteinizing hormone) – (ant pitui)

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) – (ant pitui)

Inhibin (from sertoli cell)
- nutrients for sperm prod

Q

why is GnRH released in pulsatile ~1-3hrs

A

hypothalamus release GnRH
for proper functioning of testes, regulate secretion of FSH, LH (also in pulsatile)

if constant GnRH exposure to gonadotrophs, desensitised GnRH receptors (overall decr LH, FSH)

Q

control of testicular function byNEGATIVE FEEDBACK:

A

1) testosterone incr
2) act on hypothalamus, anterior pituitary
3) decr GnRH release by acting on hypothalamus
4) indirectly decr LH, FSH release by (ant, pitui)

2) act on sertoli cell, incr inhibin production
3) inhibit FSH secretion

Q

effects of testosterone

A

• Internal male genitals (differentiation)
• Pubertal growth spurt
• Penis (growth)
• Deepening of voice
• Spermatogenesis
• Libido
• Muscle mass

Q

ANABOLIC STEROIDS EFFECT

A
  • incr in testosteron
  • inhibin produced (sertoli cell) to inhibit ant pituitary
  • testes do not receive stimulus from ant. pitui (GnRH –> LH, FSH –> testes –> testosterone)
  • testosterone secretion, sperm production decr = SHRINK

Q

Male hair pattern BALDNESS

A

◊ Horseshoe-shaped ring of hair around back of head

◊ Genetic factors –> Androgen receptor gene –> DHT

◊ DHT = body/ facial hair growth promoter that adversely affect prostate/ hair on head

——> Shrinks hair follicles, fewer visible hair left on scalp

——> Therapeutic (DHT inhibitors): block conversion of testosterone –> DHT

18
Q

Internal female genitalia

A

§ Cervix
□ Lower part of uterus that opens into vagina
§ Uterus
□ Hollow chamber which embryo develops
§ Vagina (upper 1/3)
□ Organ of sexual intercourse
□ Produce lubricating fluids
□ Birth canal
Uterine duct

18
Q

Internal female genitalia

A

§ Cervix
□ Lower part of uterus, opens into vagina
§ Uterus
□ Hollow chamber which embryo develops
§ Vagina (upper 1/3)
□ Organ of sexual intercourse
□ Produce lubricating fluids
□ Birth canal
§ Uterine duct

19
Q

External genitalia female

A

§ Clitoris
□ Sexual arousal
§ Labium minus, majus
§ Vagina (lower 2/3)

20
Q

gonad female

A

ovary

Site of storage and development of oocytes

21
Q

key features of ovaries

A

1) Release eggs, to be fertilised by sperm
2) Produce and secrete female sex hormones
3) Provide environment for fertilised egg to develop during preg
4) Facilitate labor and childbirth

22
Q

ovary — hormones —> uterus

ovarian cycle affects uterus cycle
importance??

A

• Ovum producing reproductive organ
• Analogous to testes (M)
Gonads + endocrine gland

• Uterus to maintenance fetus during development
• Expel fetus for preg
    • Major hormone responsive reproductive organ
23
Q

ovarian cycle length, phases

A

28 days
follicular (mature follicle) –> luteal (corpus luteum)

24
Q

when is ovarian cycle interrupted

A

pregnanacy
terminates at menopause

25
Q

ovaries 2 funciton

A

1) produce ova, oogenesis
2) secrete sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone) promote fertilisation of ovum, prepare female reproductive tract from preg

26
Q

estrogen function

A

1) aids follicle growth, maturation

2) induce antrum formation, estrogen storage site

27
Q

rise in estrogen

A

1) hypo – inhibit GnRH (less FSH, LH)
2) pituitary – less FSH

LH rise slowly

28
Q

LH function

A

1) differentiation of follicular cells into LUTEAL cells

2) ovulaiton, release mature egg

29
Q

CL secretes

A

progesterone
estrogen

30
Q

progesteron function

A

1) support ovum if fertilisation occurs

2) inhibit LH, FSH, (no new follicular maturation, ovulation)

31
Q

uterine cycle duration and phases

A

28 days
menstrual –> profillerative –> secretory phase

32
Q

puberty females triggered by

A

GnRH

rise at puberty, affected by environment, growht hormones in food

33
Q

signs of puberty in females

A

• Thelarche (breast)
• Pubarche (axillary, pubic ahir)
• Menarche (1st period)
• Growth 2nd sex organs
• Fat deposition
Rapid incr height (growth hormone)

34
Q

uterine cycle reflects

A

• REFLECTS cyclic change of female sex hormones during ovarian cycle
• Prepares female repro tract for fertilisation and implantation of ovum
○ Starts at puberty
•Ends at menopause

35
Q

menopause cause

A

Decrease in hormone secretion at midlife (males too)

Cessation of menstruation

36
Q

menopause treatment/ tamper

A
  • hormone replacement therapy, slow tamper off estrogen
  • reduce neg feedback in body which causes rollercoaster in hormone levels
37
Q

when menopause

A

• Age 45-55
• Ovaries have fewer remaining follicles
• Less responsive to FSH, LH (gonadotropins)
• Secrete less estrogen, progesterone (CL)

38
Q

whats happens physically from menopause

A

• Cessation of menstrual cycle
• 12mnths after last menstrual period
Gradual atrophy genital organs

39
Q

symptoms of memopause

A

• Vasomotor changes
• Regulation of blood vessels dilation/ constriction
• Hot flushes!!!
• Skin change
• Psychological, emotional
• Incr cholesterol
• CVS
• Incr osteoporosis risk
• Less E, less bone mass

40
Q

temp rise during menstruation

A

0.5*C
