Spermatogenesis/Menstrual Cycle Flashcards
Male Stages
Spermatogonium -> 1* spermatocyte -> 2* spermatocyte -> spermatid -> spermatozoa 16 days b/w each step
Egg Reduction Over time
6 million (20 wks gestation) 2 million (birth) 400,000 (puberty) only 480 get at chance at becoming child Others stay in prophase forever
Female Stages
Oogonium -> 1* oocyte -> 2* oocyte
Follicle Stages
Dominant Follicle
Better blood flow Make FSH More granulosa cells Better aromatase T -> E More inhibin More estrogen Nondom more androgenic
Hormone Cycle
Testicular Anatomy

HPV virology
non-enveloped dsDNA Transmission: sex, mother to child, formites Risk factors: early intercourse, mult. partners, hx genital warts, immunosupressed
HPV presentation
Warts - common, plantar, anogenital, respiratory, epidermodysplasia verruciformis Persistent infxn needed for cancer
HPV Screening
Begin at 21, every 3 years to 30, every 5 years w/HPV testing to 65 then stop. If test is positive, but cytology negative recheck in 6-12 months If both positive then colposcopy
Gardasil
HPV 6, 11, 16, 18. Empty vaccine w/L1 protein of virus. 98.8 % efficacy
HPV Pathogenesis
E6- degrade p53 E7 - ,,,
Progestin effects
Main actor in contraception! Suppresses gonadotropin release from pituitary, especially LH = no LH surge=no ovulation! Profound effects on cervical mucus endometrium fallopian tubes Biggest side effect is breakthrough bleeding why estrogens are added to birth control pills!
Estrogen Effects
Mainly inhibits FSH secretion = less likely dom follicle W/progestin on uterine lining = less breakthrough bleeding Reduces ovarian cyst Thrombotic side effects
