41
Q

origin of reproductive system

A

shared common structural origin with urinary system

42
Q

what germs layers is the reproductive system generated from?

A

mesoderm endoderm

43
Q

what structures do the urogenital systems develop from

A

mesonephric system cloaca

44
Q

what is the mesonephric system?

A

from intermediate mesoderm germ layer

45
Q

what is the cloaca?

A

part of the distal portion of embryonic hindgut from the endodermal germ layer

46
Q

what does the mesonephric system do?

A

contributes to renal tubules, ureter, reproductive ductal system, uterine canal and vagin

47
Q

what does the cloaca do?

A

contributes to the urinary bladder, urethra, vagina and external genitalia

48
Q

indifferent gonads

A

located in the posterior abdominal wall as gonadal ridges form a longitudinal urogenital ridge with mesonephros

49
Q

when do the gonads acquire sexual characteristics?

A

6th/ 7th week

50
Q

formation of male gonads

A

influenced by genes and hormones primitive sex cords form the testis from the 6th-8th week of development

51
Q

formation of female gonads

A

influenced by genes and hormones primitive sex cords form ovaries from the 6-8th week of development

52
Q

what are the 2 pairs of ducts in both male and female embryos?

A

mesonephric or Wolffian Paramesonephric or Mullerian

53
Q

what happens in a genetically male embryo?

A

the paramesonephric ducts degenerate mesonephric ducts form: epididymis ductus deferens seminal vesicle ejaculatory duct

54
Q

what happens in a genetically female embryo?

A

mesonephric ducts degenerate the paramesonephric ducts form: uterine tubes uterus cervix of uterus upper part of vagina

55
Q

how is the uterus formed?

A

fusion and canalisation of part of the 2 paramesonephric ducts to form uterus contributes to formation of upper vagina

56
Q

what forms the uterine tubes?

A

unfused parts of paramesonephric ducts

57
Q

what forms the vagina?

A

paramesonephric ducts urogenital sinus of the cloaca

58
Q

formation of vagina from cloaca?

A

during 4th-8th week the cloaca divides into the urogenital sinus and anal canal

59
Q

what does the urogenital sinus form?

A

urinary bladder urethra prostate gland urethral and paraurethral glands vagina external genitalia

60
Q

formation of the vagina from urogenital sinus

A

outgrowth of urogenital sinus - sinovaginal bulbs, fuses with solid caudal tip of paramesonephric duct forms a solid vaginal plate which is canalised

61
Q

formation of external genitalia

A

from 3rd - 6th week the male and female are the same
