Q

What is the testis-determining factor?

A

Q

Where do mesenchymal or stem cells or primordial germ cells migrate to?

A

Q

What happens before and during the arrival (MIGRATION) of the primordial germ cells?

A

the overlying epithelium of the genital ridge proliferates and penetrates the underlying mesenchyme forming a number of primitive sex cords - no sex differentiation yet

Q

What are primitive sex cords?

A

structures that contain hormones and develop from the gonadal ridge. After sexual differentiation -> cell clusters of primitive germ cells then follicular cells around oogonia or testis cords

35
Q

Ova and their surrounding tissues in various stages of development

A

ovarian follicles

36
Q

made up of mature ovum and its surrounding tissues that secretes estrogen

A

Graffian Follicles

37
Q

Glandular body that develops from a graffian follicle after extrusion of the ovum. What does it produce?

A

Corpus Lutem

-> progesterone and estrogens

38
Q

Vaginal mucosa contains rugae, smooth muscle, and is made up of what type of cell?

A

Stratified squamous

39
Q

4 parts of the vulva

A
  1. Mons Pubis
  2. Labia Majora - adipose tissue, sweat, sebaceous glands
  3. Labia Minora - many sebaceous glands
  4. Clitoris
40
Q

Where are the skenes glands located?

A

behind and on either side of the urethra aka lesser vestibular glands -> secrete mucus

41
Q

What glands are on either side of the vaginal orifice and produce lube?

A

Greater Vestibular or Bartholins Glands

42
Q

Imperferate hymen, what and its affects

A

Vaginal outflow obstruction- solid hymen

43
Q

What is Vaginal Adenosis?

A

when vaginal epithelium doesnt undergo proper metaplasia
Normal -> glandular columnar epi (like mullerian) to squamous cell

2%
Older
Squamous 90%
Detected
80%
20%
51

  • Cells do not _____ as normal but remain ________ and proliferate uncontrollably (Dysplasia)
A

Cervix
20%
Pap smears
mature, undifferentiated

52
Q

4 risk factors of cervical cancer

A
  1. sex at early age
  2. multiple partners
  3. HPV
  4. other STD
53
Q

What is a dysplasia?

A

lack of normal maturation of squamous epithelium- dont respond normally to stimuli - dont differentiate and proliferate uncontrollably (seen in early cancer)
