Indifferent stage
stage during when embryo can be identified as male or female?
Sexual differentiation stage
Development of Gonads: Indifferent stage, includes?
- Formation of the gonadal ridge
- Incorporation of priomordial germ cells into the gonadal ridge
- Formation of gonadal cords
Supporting cells are derived from?
Incorporation of priomordial germ cells into the gonadal ridge
splanchnic mesoderm
Primordial germ cells are derived from?
Yolk sac endoderm
Gonadal tubules form loops namely?
Seminiferous tubules
Semineferous tubules connect with a network of tubules namely the?
Rete testis
Primordial germ cells inside seminiferous tubules?
Spermatogonia
Some spermatogonia that enter the prophase stage of meiosis?
Primary spermatogenic cells
Cords of epithelial cells from mesonephric tubules?
Sustentacular (Sertoli) cells
Mesenchymal cells from gonadal ridge?
Interstitial (Leydig) cells
A sheet of mesenchyme from gonadal ridge?
Tunica albuginea
It continues as the tubuli recti, which conenct with the rete testis within the mediastinum testis?
Convulated seminiferous tubules
A columnar with an oval euchromatic nucleus and prominent nucleolus?
Sertoli cell
Primordial germ cells inside primordial follicles?
Oogonia
Each oogonium enters the prophase stage of meiosis?
Primary oocyte
Small, round body located at the periphery of the ovarian cortex and composed of a large primary oocyte surrounded by a single layer of flat follicular cells?
Primordial follice
Slightly larger round body composed of a large primary oocyte surrounded by a single layer of cuboidal or columnar follicular cells?
Primary follicle
Round body larger than the primary follicles?
Growing or secondary follicle
The largest follicle that may bulge from the surface of the ovary. It has the same structure as the growing follcle?
Mature follicle
In carnivores, ovarian follicle with more than one oocyte are found which are called?
Polyovular or polyoocytic follicles
Blood clot, follicular bleeding in porcine ovary?
Corpus hemorrhagicum
