why do anomalies of sex/gender often affect both the reproductive and urinary systems?
they are located quite close together in the intermediate mesoderm

three levels at which sex is determined in males
-gonad (testis)
-genital ducts (vas deferens and seminal vesicles)
-external genitalia (penis, scrotum)
three levels at which sex is determined in females
-gonad (ovary)
-genital ducts (uterus, tubes, vagina)
-external genitalia (labia majora/minora, clitoris)
TDF
testis determining factor, determines whether or not you're going to have testes or ovaries
hypospadias
when folds on the underside of the penis do not close --> urine/sperm can dribble out
3 elements of male development
-MIF: inhibits female ducts
-testosterone: masculinizes male DUCTS in utero; masculinizes external genitalia at puberty
-DHT: masculinizes genitalia in utero
female pseudohermaphrodite
ovary with male phenotype
male pseudohermaphrodite
testis with female phenotype
CAGS
congenital adrenogenital syndrome

most common intersex condition, and a result of adrenal hyperplasia (too much or too little production of sex hormones)
5-alpha reductase
converts testosterone to DHT, which masculinizes genitalia in utero
testicular feminization
androgen insensitivity
