T1Q6 Urogenital Embryology Flashcards
Indifferent Stage: Timeline/ Events 1. primoridal germ cells migrate from yolk sac> allontois> hindgut> gonadal ridge 2. gonadal ridge> primitive sex chords 3. genital ducts arise a. mesonephric (male): course from gonads straight to hindgut b. paramesonephric (female): course from gonads and meet in the midline before emptying into the hindgut Male Genital Development 1. medullary chords> primitive seminal tubes & rete testist 2. leydig cells differentiate from mesenchyte between medu
what produces the nephrogenic cord and gonadal ridge?
mesoderm> intermediate mesoderm> urogenital ridge>
- nephrogenic chord
- gonadal ridge
labia major arises from
genital swelling
scrotum arises from
genital swelling
shaft of penis arises from
cloacal fold> urethral fold> shaft of penis
labia minora arises from
cloacal fold> urethral fold> labia minora
glans of penis arises from
genital tubercle
clitoris arises from
genital tubercle
uterine tubes, superior portion of vagina arise from
paramesonephric ducts
TDF> > > > > seminferous tubules _ rete testis
TDF> primitive sex cords> sertoli cells> testicular cords> seminiferous tubules + rete testis
how do the ovarian follicles form in females?
primitive sex chords> cortical sex cords> ovarian follicles
Clinical: what happens if the primitive germ cells fail to migrate?
Immediately: the gondadal ridge will not form
Adult: the external genitalia will not form
Clinical: a communication exists between the urethra and rectum. What structure failed to form?
The urorectal septum failed to separate the cloacal membrane into rectum urethra
a. The mesonephric duct degenerate in _____
b. the paramesonephric ducts degenerate in ____
a. females, paramesonephric ducts form uterine structures
b. males- mesonephric structure form ductus deferens, seminal vesicle
Clinical: a newborn presents with multiple urethral openings. What embryonic event failed to occur normally?
External Genitalia: fusion of the urethral folds to enclose the urethral groove
The medullary chord degenerate in one sex and the cortical chords degenerate in another. Which is which?
medullary chord: degenerates in FEMALES, cortical chord help form follicular cells
cortical chord: degenerates in MALES, the medullary chord forms sertolli cells
