Reproductive Flashcards
sonic hedgehog
- produced at base of limbs in zone of polarizing activity
- involved in CNS development
- causes holoprosencephaly
Wnt-7 gene
- at apical ectodermal ridge
- for proper organization along dorsal-ventral axis
FGF gene
- at apical ectodermal ridge
- mitosis of underlying mesoderm
- for lengthening of limbs
homeobox
- segmental organization of embryo in a craniocaudal directions
- leads to appendages in wrong location
agenesis
no organ due to absent primordial tissue
aplasia
no organ even with primordial tissue
effect of fetus of alkylating agents
absence of digits
effect of fetus of aminoglycosides
ototoxicity
effect of fetus of DES
vaginal clear cell adenocarcinoma
effect of fetus of lithium
ebstein anomaly (displacement of tricuspid valve)
effect of fetus of drugs
low birth weight, preterm labor, placental problems
effect of fetus of maternal diabetes
caudal regression syndrome, congenital heart defects, neural tube defects, macrosomia, hypoglycemia
findings in fetal alcohol syndrome
- retardation, microcephaly, smooth philtrum, thin vermillion border, small palpebral fissures, limb dislocation, heart defects, fistulas, holoprosencephaly
cytotrophoblast (fetal component)
inner layer of chorionic villi (cyto makes cells)
syncytiotrophoblast (fetal component)
synthesizes hormones like bHCG
- lacks MHC-1 expression
decidua basalis
derived from endometrium, maternal blood in lacunae
umbilical cord
- two arteries from iliac arteries
- one vein from IVC
umbilical vessels are derived from…
allantosis
urachus
duct between fetal bladder and umbilicus
vitelline duct
connects yolk sac to mid gut lumen
first aortic arch derivatives
part of maxillary artery (1st is MAXimal)
second aortic arch derivatives
stadedial and hyoid artery (S=second)
third aortic arch derivatives
common carotid artery and proximal part of internal carotid (C is third letter)
fourth aortic arch derivatives
left = aoritc arch right = proximal part of right subclavian artery (4th = 4 limbs, systemic)
sixth aortic arch derivatives
pulmonary arteries and ductus arteriosus
study embryology
do it
female embryology
mesonephric duct degenerates and paramesonephric duct develops
male embryology
- SRY on Y produces TDF
- sertoli cells produce MIF that suppresses paramesonephric ducts
- leydig cells secrete androgens stimulating mesonephric ducts
mullerian agenesis
Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome
- lack of uterine development
- primary amenorrhea
mesonephric vs paramesonephric ducts
mesonephric = male paramesonrphric = female
no sertoli cells leads to….
no MIF, leading to development of both male and female internal and external genetalia
5alpha reductase deficiency
cant convert to DHT, leads to male internal and ambiguous external
Leydig and Sertoli for sexual differentiation
leydig leads to male
sertoli shuts down female
genital tubercle
becomes glans penis, corpus cavernosum and spongiosum and clitoris
urogenital sinus
becomes Bartholin/Cower glands, skene’s gland and prostate, lower vagina
urogenital folds
become shaft of penis and labia minora
labioscrotal swelling
becomes scrotum and labia majora
difference in gonadal veins
left takes the longest way (renal vein to IVC)
- right is direct to IVC
structures to para aortic nodes
ovary/testes
structures to external iliac nodes
uterus/cervix/superior bladder
structures to internal iliac nodes
prostate/certix/proximal vagina
structures to superficial inguinal nodes
distal vagina, vulva, scrotum, distal anus
structures to deep inguinal nodes
glans penis
infundibulopelvic ligament
connect ovary to pelvic wall
- contains ovarian vessels
- close to ureter in retroperitineum
cardinal ligament
- connects cervix to side wall of pelvis
- contains uterine vessels
- close to ureter
round ligament
- uterine fundus to labia majora
- same as gubernaculum
