Wednesday, 3-1-Puberty & disorders of development and Menstrual disorders (Moulton) Flashcards
1) as the corpus luteum dies, ___ levels fall –> 2) The pituitary responds to falling levels of #1 by increasing __ secretion –> 3) FSH recruits a cohort of large antral follicles to enter rapid growth phase. Follicles secrete large amounts of __ –> 4) The substances secreted by the follicles in #3 negatively feedback on FSH –> 5) declining FSH levels progressively cause atresia of all but 1 follicle-leading to selection of dominant follicle, which produces high levels of ___ –> 6) High estrogen has positive feedback on gonadotropes and leads to a __ surge –> 7) the surge in #6 induces meiotic maturation, ovulation, and luteinization. The corpus luteum produces high amounts of ___. –> 8) High levels of the substances produced by the corpus luteum in #7 feedback on __ to return to basal levels. –> 9) the __ progressively becomes less sensitive to basal LH and dies if levels of LH-like activity (i.e., hCG) do not increase
1) Estrogen and progesterone
2) FSH
3) Estrogen and inhibin
5) Estrogen
6) LH (and some FSH)
7) Progesterone, along with Estrogen and inhibin
8) LH and FSH
9) corpus luteum

functionalis (outer portion)
median age of menarche? when does it usually occur after thelarche (breast budding)? which tanner stage?
12.43
occurs within 2-3 yrs after thelarche
at tanner stage IV, rare before stage III
__-no menstruation by 13 years old without secondary sexual development OR by the age of 15 yrs with secodnary sexual characteristics
Primary amenorrhea
typical menstrual cycle interval (in days) in young females?
21-45 days
Mean blood loss per menstrual cycle is __ cc.
Greater than __ cc blood loss has been associated with anemia
30
80 –> changing a pad q1-2 hrs considered excessive esp if bleeding >7 days
rises in adrenal androgens in late childhood (8-11) causes growth of ___
axillary and pubic hair (adrenarche or pubarche)
between age 8-11 –> increase [DHEA] and [androstenedione]
__ is known as breast development and 1st physical sign of puberty. It requires estrogen
thelarche
pubarche/adrenarche requires ___
androgens
which demographic experiences the earliest age of thelarche? adrenarche? menarche?
AA’s start the earliest, followed by hispanics, then whites in all 3 categories
this tanner stage of breast development is preadolescent, elevation of papilla only
1
this tanner stage of breast development is the breast bud stage, elevation of breast and papilla as a small mound with enlargement of areolar region
2
this tanner stage of breast development is further enlargement of breast and areola without separation of their contours
3
this tanner stage of breast development is a projection of areola and papilla to form a secondary mound above level of the breast
4
this tanner stage of breast development is the mature stage where you have projection of the papilla only, resulting from recession of the areola to the general countour of the breast
5
this tanner stage of pubarche is preadolescent, absence of pubic hair
1
this tanner stage of pubarche is sparse hair along labia, hair downy with slight pigment
2
this tanner stage of pubarche is hair spreading sparsely over junction of the pubes, hair is darker and coarser
3
this tanner stage of pubarche is adult-type hair, no spread to medial surface of thighs
4
this tanner stage of pubarche is adult-type hair with spread to medial thighs assuming an inverted triangle pattern
5
this heterosexual precocity disorder is exceedingly rare in childhood, usually originate in the ovaries (sertoli-leydig cell) or adrenals. It is dx by physical and radiologic exams and tx with surgical removal. It is characterized by development of secondary sex characteristics OPPOSITE those of anticipated sex
androgen-secreting neoplasms
this heterosexual precocity disorder is most commonly from defect in 21-hydroxylase leading to excessive androgen production. There is a classical and non-classical form
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
what is the term for premature sexual maturation that is appropriate for the phenotype of the affected individual?
isosexual precocious puberty
true–> arises from premature activation of normal process of puebrtal development involving the HPO axis
pseudoisosexual–> increase in estrogen and cause sexual characteristic maturation WITHOUT activation of HPO axis
how do you dx true isosexual precocious puberty?
how do you tx?
Dx with administrtion of exogenous GnRH and see resultant rise in LH levels consistent with older girls who are undergoing normal puberty
Dx with MRI of head
Tx with GnRH agonist (Leuprolide) –> suppresses release of FSH and LH
