  1. Mesothelium: mesodermal epithelium lining the posterior abdominal wall
  2. Underlying mesenchyme (embryonic connective tissue)
  3. Primordial germ cells (PGCs; endodermal undifferentiated sex cells)

Q

Explain the Indifferent Gonads development until Week 7

A
  • Day 24: Primordial germ cells (PGCs) from the Umbilical vesicle (Yolk Sac) migrate via the dorsal mesentery into both Urogenital ridges or Gonadal ridges
  • A medial bulge in the mesonephros is the gonadal ridge or primordium of gonad
151
Q

Gonadal Cortex and Medulla containing PGCs:

  • Migration of PGCs via what? to where?
  • Mesodermal epithelium (abdominal wall) covers what and forms what?
  • Gonadal cords grow where?
  • The indifferent gonads (male or female) now consist of what?
A
  1. Migration of PGCs via hind gut dorsal mesentery to the gonadal ridge
  2. Mesodermal epithelium (abdominal wall) covers the PGCs & form the gonadal cords.
  3. Gonadal cords grow in the underlying mesenchyme (Medulla)
  4. The indifferent gonads (male or female) now consist of an external cortex (epithelial layer) & an internal medulla.
152
Q

XY embryo (Male):

  • What gene is present
  • Gonadal cords differentiate into what?
  • The medulla differentiates into what?
A
  • The Y-Chromosome with an SRY-gene (sex- determining region on the Y chromosome) make TDF (Testis Determining Factor), which determines testicular differentiation
  • Gonadal cords differentiate into Seminiferous Cords ->Seminiferous tubules with PGCs
  • The medulla differentiates into a testis, and the cortex regresses
153
Q

XX embryo (Female):

  • What type of pathway?
  • The Cortex differentiates into what?
A
  • Default Pathway (no Y-chromosome)
  • The Cortex differentiates into an Ovary (Oocytes resides), and the medulla regresses.
154
Q

XY embryo (Male): Development of Testes:

  • Seminiferous cords condense, branch, anastomose to form what?
  • Seminiferous cords detach from what?
  • Seminiferous cords go into?
  • What does sertoli cells do?
  • Rete testis connects with?
  • Mesonephric duct becomes what?
  • Mature testis where?
A
  • Seminiferous cords condense, branch, anastomose to form the rete testis
  • Seminiferous cords detach from the cortex as the fibrous tunica albuginea develops.
  • Seminiferous cords-> seminiferous tubules; surrounding mesenchyme forms Leydig cells (produced by medulla that has mesodermal cells); secrete testosterone, inducing masculine differentiation
  • Sertoli cells (produced by cortex epithelium) nourishes the Spermatogonia (derived from PGCs)-> SPERMS
  • Rete testis connects with mesonephric tubules, which then becomes efferent ductules.
  • Mesonephric duct->duct of the epididymis
  • Mature testis: Out of the body before birth; (cooler by 40C)
  • No sperms till puberty.
155
Q

XX embryo (Female): Development of Ovaries:

  • No Y, thus X chromosome genes determine what?
  • Gonadal cords form what?
  • Cortical cords extend where?
  • Cords break into what?
  • Oogonium-> _ -> _
  • The ovary separates from what? what is it suspended by?
A
  • No Y, thus X chromosome genes determine ovarian development.
  • Gonadal cords form a rudimentary rete ovarii-> degenerates.
  • Cortical cords extend in the mesenchyme & incorporate PGCs.
  • Cords break->primordial ovarian follicles, each with a PGC; (Oogonium). No Oogonia from postnatally.
  • Oogonium->Primary Oocyte→OVUM
  • The ovary separates form the regressing mesonephros & is suspended by Ovarian ligament & the surrounding mesentery, the Mesovarium.
