32
Q

what does the mesonephric duct become in females?

lower 2/3 of vagina,
greater vestibular glands,
urethral/paraurethral glands
membranous urethra

34

glans penis, erectile tissue

35
Q

what comes from the genital tubercle in females?

A

glans clitoris, erectile tissue

36
Q

what is the female homolog to the male prostate?

A

paraurethral glands, urethral glands

37
Q

what occurs in the epididymis

A

decapitation to prevent acromsomal activation

sperm learn to swim

38
Q

what is the function of the vas deferens?

A

sperm trasport and storage in ampulla

provides fructose and citrate

39
Q

what are the actions of estradiol in males?

A

bone maturation
growth
spermatogenesis
breast development

40
Q

what breaks down the functional layer of the uterus during menses?

A

matrix metalloproteinases and prostaglandins and constriction of the spiral arteries

41
Q

what are the functions of progesterone? 9

A

Stimulation of endometrial glandular secretions and spiral artery development.

Maintenance of pregnancy.

decrease myometrial excitability.

increases adhesiveness of endometrium

increase body temperature.

Inhibition of gonadotropins(LH, FSH).

Uterine smooth muscle relaxation (preventing contractions).

decrease estrogen receptor expression

Prevents endometrial hyperplasia

42
Q

what are the functions of estrogen?

A

Development of genitalia and breast, female fat distribution.

Growth of follicle, endometrial proliferation, myometrial excitability.

Upregulation of estrogen, LH, and progesterone receptors; feedback inhibition of FSH and LH, then LH surge;

stimulation of prolactin secretion.

increases transport proteins, SHBG; HDL;
decreases LDL

43
Q

What are the symptoms of endometriosis?

A

dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, menometorrhagia, infertility

44
Q

How does the LH surge form the stigma and eventually break down the ovarian wall?

A

proteolytic activity of the theca externa and tunica albuginea

45
Q

how do granulosa cells communicate with each other/

A

gap junctions

46
Q

what does LH surge do to the steriodogenic function of the granulosa cells?

A

inhibits aromatase so less estrogen

increases access to cholesterol for progesterone production

47
Q

what is released from the granulosa/theca cells to help break down the follicle wall/tunica albuignea?

A

cytokines and hydrolytic enzymes

48
Q

what happens when the sperm meets the plasma membrane?

A

something binds to izumo and sperm DNA condenses and a pronucleus forms arounds it

49
Q

other than maintenance of the CL, what is the function of hCG

A

autocrine –> growth of trophoblasts and placenta

50
Q

what is the funciton of syncytiotrophoblast?

A

secrete hCG, express adhesive proteins, break down ECM of uterus with metalloproteases and enzymes

51
Q

what occurs during the attachment phase of implantation?

A

interaction between surface proteins on trophoblasts and endothelial cells starts decidualization

52
Q

how do the endometrial cells change with decidualization?

A

more glycogen, structural changes
