define gonad
body organ that produces the cells necessary for reproduction
INTRAUTERINE DEVELOPMENT
these tissue have already been formed that will serve as gonads of male and female
➜mesonephric duct (males) and
➜paramesonephric duct (females)
what happens at week 5 of INTRAUTERINE DEVELOPMENT
➜mesonephric duct (males) and ➜paramesonephric duct (females)
✅ the tissue that will become ovaries and testes =have already formed.
what happens at week 7 or 8 of INTRAUTERINE DEVELOPMENT to chromosomal males
begins formation of testosterone
under the influence of testosterone what happens to the mesonephric duct and paramesonephric duct
the mesonephric duct develops into male reproductive organs and the paramesonephric duct regresses.
If testosterone is not present by week 10
the paramesonephric duct becomes dominant and develops into female reproductive organs.
When ovaries form what will happen?
oocytes (cells that will develop into eggs throughout the woman’s mature years) are already present
what happens at week 12 of INTRAUTERINE DEVELOPMENT
external genitals begin to develop.
what happens at week 12 of INTRAUTERINE DEVELOPMENT males
✅penile tissue elongates
✅ ventral surface of the penis closes to form a urethra.
what happens at week 12 of INTRAUTERINE DEVELOPMENT females
ith no testosterone present
✅the uterus
✅labia minora
✅labia majora form
