x exam 2 reproductive development Flashcards
internal reproductive organ from
intermediate mesoderm
primordia of male and female form in
both genders
when both present
indifferent stage
gametes originate
yolk sac endoderm and splanchnic mesoderm
urogenital ridge of ntermediate mesoderm
genital ridge
gametes invade
genital ridge
epithelial cells of mesonephric tubules
invade genital ridge
surround and form vesicles around gametes
=gonadal cords (primitive sex cords)
genital ridge is located
ventromedially
paramesonephric ducts
from lateral to mesonephric kidney
in caudal region curve
medially and meet with other duct
common parmesonephric duct enters
urogenital sinus
initially caudal to
mesonephric/metanephric ducts
gonadal cords form
solid tubes
tubes become
patent after birth (seminiferous tubules)
gonadal cords form solid tubes
tubes become patent after birth = seminiferous tubules
