Reproduction Flashcards
connects cervix to pelvic side wall
cardinal ligament
connects the ovaries to the lateral pelvic wall
suspensory ligament
connects the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries to the pelvic side wall
broad
contains the uterine vessels
cardinal ligament
contains the ovarian vessels
suspensory ligament
testicular cancer first mets to
peri-aortic lymph nodes
what develops from mesonephric ducts
male internal genitalia except prostate
male homologue to: vestibular bulbs labia minora bartholin glands urethral and paraurethral glands (of Skene)
corpus cavernosum and spongiosum
ventral shaft of penis
bulbourethral glands
prostate gland
what gene product comes from the SRY gene that underlies male genital development
testis determining factor
anchors testes to the scrotum
gubernaculum
pulsing schedule of GnRH affects gonadotropin release how
pulsatile: increase release
continuous: decrease/stop release
difference btw androgen insensitivity and 5-alpha-reductase deficiency
androgen insensitivity: female genitalia, but genetically male.
5-a-reductase: male genitalia that are hypodeveloped until puberty causes a large increase in testosterone
sertoli and leydig cells
LH -> leydig cells -> testosterone
FSH -> sertoli cells -> androgen binding protein (keeps testosterone in testicle)
testicular tumor composed of cytotrophoblasts and syncytiotrophoblasts
choriocarcinoma
may present initially with gynecomastia in males
leydig cell tumor
elavated AFP in males
yolk sac, teratoma
elevated BhCG in males
choriocarcinoma, embryonal and teratoma
most common testicular cancer
seminoma
most common testicular tumor in infants and children up to 3yrs of age
yolk sac
most common testicular tumor in men over age 60
testicular lymphoma
histologic appearance similar to koilocytes (cytoplasmic clearing)
seminoma
histologically may have alveolar or tubular appearance sometimes with papillary convolutions
embryonal carcinoma
composed of multiple tissue types
teratoma
histologic endodermal sinus structures (Schiller-Duval bodies) in males
yolk sac tumor
