Q

The medullary chord degenerate in one sex and the cortical chords degenerate in another. Which is which?

A

medullary chord: degenerates in FEMALES, cortical chord help form follicular cells

Q

Clinical: a male patient suffers from infertility. Biopsy reveals intact Sertoli Cells. Ideas?

A

Leydig cells failed to differentiate between in the mesenchyme between medullary sex chords

17
Q

Which of the following forms as an outgrowth of the mesonephric ducts? prostate or seminal vesicle

A

seminal vesicles; prostate arises from the spongy urethra

18
Q

SRY & TDF are to males as ____ are to Females

A

Wnt-4s

19
Q

Clinical: patient has an incomplete broad ligament and uterus bicornis. what embryological event failed?

A

migration of fusion of the two paramesonephric ducts

20
Q

the hymen arises from what embryonic structure?

A

urogenital sinus> sinovaginal bulb> distal vagina and hymen

DOES NOT form form mesonephric ducts

21
Q

the gonadal ridge is ___ to the nephrogenic chord

A

medial

22
Q

nephrogenic chord

A

“kidney” forming chord. from cranial to caudal

  1. pronephros
  2. mesonephros
  3. metanephros
23
Q

pronephros

A

first, non-functional kidney that induces formation of other parts

24
Q

mesonephros

A

“wolffian” duct, a long collecting duct that opens into the cloaca. Mesnephric tubules differentiate into excretory units that form at each segmental level.

Transient

25
Q

Clinical: ultra sound reveals abnormalities in the structure of the collecting duct in the right kidney. What event failed?

A

uretic bud division failure in the metanephros

intermediate mesoderm> urogenital ridge> nephrogenic duct> metanephros

26
Q

Clinical: Loop Diuretic act on a structure that arises from what part of the nephrogenic chord

A

metanephros, metanephric blastema

27
Q

mesonephric duct

A

a structure of the mesonephros that goes on to form the kidneys

28
Q

allantois

A

an invagination of the hindgut that extends through the umbilical chord into the yolk sac

29
Q

cloaca

A

an exapnded region in the embryonic hindgut

30
Q

urachus

A

adult remnant of the embryonic allantois

31
Q

clinical: during exploratory surgery, you discover that an area at the base of the bladder of a newborn is leaking urine. This is due to a failure in what type of a structure?

A

mesodermal, mesonephric duct

32
Q

urogenital sinus is derived from

A

the hindgut

endoderm> hindgut> rectum + urogenital sinus + urorectal membrane
