Q

The key to sexual dimorphism is found on the…

Q

Primordial germ cells Start…

A

Mesenchymal or stem cells (future sperm or eggs)
that develop in the wall of the yolk sac near the
allantois that migrate along the mesentery of the
hindgut. This occurs at about the 3rd week of
embryologic development.

Q

Rokatansky-Mayer-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome is a….

A

congenital lack of a uterus, vaginal atresia or agenesis, despite normal ovaries and external genitalia.

36
Q

develops during embryogenesis due to incomplete fusion of the two mullerian ducts, resulting in a double vagina, with a chance of a double cervix and uterus

A

Longitudinal Septum

37
Q

develops during embryogenesis when the two mullerian ducts fuse improperly to the urogenital sinus. A complete septum blocks menstrual flow and is a cause of primary amenorrhea.

A

Transverse Septum

38
Q

Transverse Septum, and Longitudinal Septum defects Both may cause.

A

obstruction to flow and dyspareunia

39
Q

is usually associated with dilation of the lower uterine segment, and may be an obstruction with menstrual flow.

A

Congenital stenosis

40
Q

is a uterus with a common fused wall between two distinct uterine cavities. Due to a failure of the common wall between the apposed mullerian ducts to degenerate, forming a single uterine cavity

A

Bicornis (septate) Uterus

41
Q

refers to a double uterus with a double vagina. Again due to failure of the two mullerian ducts to fuse during embryonic life.

A

Uterus Didelphys

42
Q

refers to a single uterus with a partial remaining septum, owing to failure of the wall of the fused mullerian ducts to fully resorb.

A

urogenital sinus

47
Q

The consequences of Imperforate Hymen in the adolescent/neonates…

A

o Hematometrocolpos
o Hematosalpinx or secondary endometriosis
o Endometriosis: tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus, grows outside of the uterus. Displaced endometrial tissue continues to act as it normally would, thickens,
breaks down and bleeds with each menstrual cycle Because this displaced tissue has no way to exit your body, it becomes trapped
o An accumulation of infected material within the vaginal cavity may cause ascending genital
tract infections
