The Genitals And Cancer Flashcards
Male main parts
Functions
Semi nephrous tubules (sperm production)
Lobules- septa
Epididemis (immature sperms pass through it to become mature)
Vos deferens
The CT of genitals is
Function
Tunica albuginea
Surrounds testis for protection
Protection for ovaries
Male germinal epithelium has … And …
Spermatogenic cells
Sertoli cells/ supporting cells
Connective tissue has…cells
Lydeg/ interstitial
No sperm production only semenal fluid and requires IVF
Azospermia
Sertoli cells function
Blood testis barrier
Nutrition and strengthening
Fructose
ABP
Leydig cells function
Secrete testosterone
In complete descent of testis into scrotum is
Cryptorchidism
FSH
Male
Female
From pituitary gland
ABP by sertoli cells
Maturation of follicles
LH
Female
Male
From pituitary gland
Ovulation
Testosterone by lydeg cells
ABP secreting cells

Female
Sertoli
Theca lutein
Process of follicles degeneration
Atresia
A follicle has…. And….
Oocyte
Follicular cells
Types of follicles acc to morphology
Primordial
Primary (unilaminar/multilaminar)
Secondary
Mature- tertiary- graafian
Sac full of fluid starts from secondary follicle gets so big at tertiary
Antrum
Graafian follicle continues to develop due to…and…
Granulusa cells (follicular cells)
Liquor folliculi(liquid in antrum)
As antrum liquor folliculi increases the…. Detached and float freely in antrum
Cumulus oophorus
Cluster of cells around oocyte
Ovulation happens due to pressure build up until follicle raptures due to
Proteoglycans
Hyaluronic acid
Water attraction
Corpus luteum was previously
Function
Granulosa cells and interna cells
Progesterone production
Convert androgen to estrogen
Corpus albicans
Degeneration of corpus luteum and accumulation of fibroblast forming collagen type1
Cervical cancer cause
HPV
Human papillomavirus
Main part of mammary gland
lobules»lobes»Lactiferous ducts
Breast cancer
Fibrosis
Epitheliolosis
Adenosis
Neoplasia
Failure of genetic mechanisms
Abnormal and excessive growth of tissues
