Reproductive Flashcards
most common causes of eugonadotropic amenorrhea
Mullerian duct anomalies or imperforate hymen
streak ovaries
turners syndrome
testicular feminization
aka androgen insensitivity
46XY appear phenotypically female, have a blind end vaginal pouch with no uterus
due to insensitive testosterone receptors
how can turners pts become pregnant
with donor oocyte, and they require hormonal supplementation during pregnancy to maintain uterine lining (estrogen and progesterone)
sonic hedgehog
patterning along anterior posterior axis, CNS mt holoprosencephaly
wnt 7
produced at apical ectodermal ridge necessary for dorsal ventral axis
FGF
lengthening of limbs
homebox (Hox) genes
segmental organization of embryo in craniofacial direction
-mt appendages in wrong locations
ectoderm:
surface
neuroectoderm
neural crest
surface ectoderm: epidermis, adenohypophysis (Rathke ppouch), lens of eye, epithelial lining of oral cavity, sensory organs of ear, olfactory epithelium, epidermis, anal canal below pectinate line, parotid, sweat and mamary glads
Neuroectoderm: CNS (brain, neurohypophysis, CNS neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, pneal gland), retina, optic nerve, spinal cord
Neural crest: PNS, melanocytes, chromaffin cells of adrenal medulla, parafollicular C cells, cells of thyroid pia, arachnoid, bones of skull, oodontoblast, aorticopulmonary septum
mesoderm
defects=VACTERL vertebral anal atresia cardiac defects tracheoesophageal fistulas Renal defects limbs defects also spleen, vagina, testes, ovaries, adrenal cortex, dermis
endoderm
Enternal layer
-gut tube epithelium, urethra, luminal epithelial derivatives-lungs, liver, bladder, pancreas, eustachain tube, thymus, parathyroid, thyroid follicular cells
teratogen: renal damage
ACEi
teratogen: absence of digits, + other anomalies
alkylating agents
teratogen: CN VIII toxicity
aminoglycosides
teratogen: facial dysmorphism, developmental delay, NTDs, phalanx/fingernail hypoplasia
carbamazepine
teratogen: vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma, congenital mullerian anomalies
DES
teratogen: NTDs
folate antagonists
ebstein anomaly
lithium
teratogen: aplasia cutis congenita (congenital focus of epidermis with or without other skin layers)
methimazole
cleft palate, cardiac defects, phalanx/fingernail hypoplasia
phenytoin
-fetal hydantoin syndrome
discolored teeth, teratogen
tetracycline
teratogen: limb defects, phocomelia, micromelia, “flipper” limbs
thalidomide
NTDs
valproate-inhibits maternal folate absorption
bone defromities, fetal hemorrhage, abortion, opthalmologic abnormalities
warfarin
caudal regression syndrome
in babies with mother with diabetes
anal atresia to sirenomelia (mermaid syndrome)
microcephaly and intellectual disability
X ray exposure
hypertelorism, limb dislocation, heart-lung fistulas, holoprosencephaly, smooth philtrum
Fetal alcohol syndrome
failure of cell migration
which placental component lacks MHC 1 expression
syncytiotrophoblast-outer layer of chorionic villi
-secretes hCG (stimulates corpus luteum to secrete progesterone during the first trimester)
cytotrophoblast
inner layer of chorionic villi, makes cells
decidual basalis
maternal component of placents, derived from endometrium, maternal blood in lacunae
urachus
formed from the allantois during the 3rd week, duct between fetal bladder and yolk sac (bladder to umbilical cord)
vitelline duct
omphalomesenphric duct
connects midgut lumen to yolk sac (umbilicus)
meckel diverticulum
partial failure of vitelline duct closure (tur diverticulum)
1st aortic arch derivative
maxillary (branch of external carotid)
2nd aortic arch derivative
stapedial artery and hyoid artery
3rd aortic arch derivative
Carotids-common carotid and proxmial part of internal carotid
4th aortic arch derivative
on left-aortic arch
on right-proximal part of right subclavian artery
CAP
clefts=ectoderm
arches=mesoderm
pouches=endoderm
6th aortic arch derivative
proximal part of pulmonary arteries and ductus arteriosus
failure of closure of maxillary and medial nasal processed
cleft lip
failure of fusion of two lateral palatine processes OR failure of fusion of lateral palatine processes with nasal septum and/OR median palatine process
cleft palate
teacher collins syndrome
failure of first arch to migrate-mandibular hypoplasia ,facial abnormalities, FTT
congential pharyngocutaneous fistula
persistence of cleft and pouch–> fistula between tonsillar area and lateral neck
female genital development
(default) mesonephric duct degenerates and paramesonephric duct develops
male genital development
-SRY causes release of testis determining factor
which acts on Sertoli cells to produce mullerian (paramesonephric) inhibiting factor
-also acts on leydig cells to make testosterone and make mesonephric duct (SEED) seminal vesicles, epididymis, ejactulaory duct, ductus deferens
no sertoli cells or lack of MIF
get both female and male internal genitalia and male external genitalia
no 5 alpha reductase
testosterone is not converted to DHT and do not get external genitalia
-male internal genitalia ambiguous external genitali until puberty (increase in testosterone levels cause masculinization)
septate uterus
incomplete resorption of the septum
decreses fertility-septoplasty
bicornuate uterus
incomplete fusion of mullerian ducts
increases risk of complicated pregnancy
uterus didelphys
complete failure of fusion of mullerian ducts, double uterus, vaina, and cervia-pregnany possible
hypospadis
failure of urethral folds to fuse leaving an abnormal opening of penile urethra on ventral surface of penis
-associated with inguinal hernia and cryptorchidism
epispadis
abnormal opening of penile urethra on dorsal surface due to faulty positioning of gential tubercle
assocaited with exstrophy of the bladder
gubernaculum
anchors testes with scrotum
like female ovarian ligament and round ligament of uterus
processus vaginalis
forms tunica vaginalis in males and is obliterated in females
