Amh

Except for prostatic utricle and appendix testis

26
Q

Female epithelial cells differentiate to

A

Follice cells that surround primitive germ cells

27
Q

Primordial follices

A

Follicle cells + germ cells

28
Q

Meduallry region of ovary contains

A

Neurovascular structures

29
Q

In female, mesonephric degenerates except for

A

Epoophoron
Paroophoron
Gartner’s Cyst

30
Q

Paramesonephric ducts develop into 3 parts in female…what are they?

A

Cranial vertical - uterine tube
Horizontal - uterine tube and superior uterus
Caudal vertical - inferior parts of uterus

31
Q

Caudal vertical paramesonephric duct form inferior part of uterus by

A

Fusing with duct on other side

32
Q

Paramesoneprhic duct opens into

A

Urogenital sinus

33
Q

Sinovaginal bulbs grow due to

A

Migrating mesoderm cells

34
Q

Sinovaginal bulbs become

A

Vaginal plate when they fuse

35
Q

Superior part of vagina mostly derived from

A

Paramesonephric ducts

36
Q

Inferior part of vagina formed from

A

Canalization of the vaginal plate

37
Q

Inferior vs. superior part of vagina germ layers

A

Inferior - endoderm lined mesoderm

Superior - mesoderm

38
Q

Hymen

A

Separates lumen of vagina from urogenital sinus

39
Q

Cloacal folds

A

Formed from mesenchyme cells that migrate around the edge of cloacal membrane

40
Q

Cloacal folds form

A

Genital tubercle

41
Q

Labioscrotal folds become

A

Scrotum or labia majora

42
Q

When cloacal is divided by _______ , labioscrotal folds are renamed to _____

A

urorectal septum

Urethral folds (around urogen sinus)
Anal folds (around anus)
43
Q

Males develop external genitalia due to

A

Dihydrotestosterone

44
Q

Male urogenital sinus renamed

A

Urethral plate (endoderm)

45
Q

Urethral groove

A

Formed by urethral folds

Lined by urethral plate

46
Q

Urethral folds fuse

A

Along ventral aspect of the phallus to create penile urethra

47
Q

All urethra of male derived from

A

Mesoderm and lined with urogenital sinus (endoderm)

48
Q

Hypospadias

A

Defect in ventral wall of penis

Failure of urethral folds to fuse along midline forming penile urethra

49
Q

IN absense of dihydrotestosterone

A

Genital tubercle does not lengthen and becomes clitoris
Urethral folds become labia minora
Laboscrotal become labia majora

50
Q

Vestibule of vagina is found

A

Between urethral folds

51
Q

Intersex conditions

A

Born with anatomy that doesn’t fit typical definitions

52
Q

True hermaphroditism

A

Both ovarian and testicular tissue are present in gonad

Usually have uterus and external are female

53
Q

Androgen insensitivity syndrome

A

46 XY
Develop testes
Paramesoneprhic ducts will regress
External genitalia look female because can’t respond to androgens
NO MALE SEX CHARACTERISTICS AFTER PUBERTY

54
Q

Types of androgen insensitivity

A

COmplete
Mild
Partial

55
Q

5-alpha reductase 2 deficiency

A

46 XY and develop testes
Testosterone not converted to dihydrotestosterone so external genitalia female
At puberty, will develop male sex charactersitics due ot testosterone

A

MUtations of adrenal glands

ACTH elevated causes hyperplasia of cells producing androgens
