Physical location, derivatives, and articulations of the mesonephric ducts
Develops from cells on the lateral aspect of the urogenital ridge. Courses in a craniocaudal axis and ends into the urogenital sinus near its midline. In caudal portion, seminal vesicle forms as a diverticulum in males.
Physical location,derivatives, and articulations of the paramesonephric ducts
Form bilaterally to the mesonephric ducts, aligned craniocaudally. Open cephalically into the peritoneal cavity, and caudally empty into the urogenital sinus. As they develop, they grow towards the posterior wall of the UGS. Cranial portion forms uterine tubes, caudally the ducts fuse to form major portion of the uterus. Form appendix of testis and prostatic utricle in males.
Derivatives of the mesonephric tubules
Appendix of epididymus and paradidymus
What is the pelvic cavity divided into? What separates them? How is this separation formed?
Anterior vesicouterine pouch and posterior rectouterine pouch (og Douglas). Separated by broad ligament that supports the uterus; formed from mesodermally-derived mesentery.
Formation of the vagina
Formed during 5th month from intermediate mesoderm and endoderm. Formed when the paramesonephric ducts fuse with the posterior wall of the urogential sinus, an outgrowth, vaginal plate, is formed. Canalization of the plate connects upper vagina derived from paramesonephric duct and lower vagina formed from endoderm of UGS.

Derivatives of paramesonephric ducts in females
Hydatid (of Morgagni)
Uterine tube
Uterus
Upper portion of vagina
External genitalia formation
-arise from a midline genital tubercle of UGS and paried urethral external folds made of somatic mesoderm with overlying ectoderm
-folds arise lateral to urogenital membrane and fuse with genital tubercle in 6th week.
-2nd set of paired foldings, labioscrotal swellings, develop lateral to urogenital folds
-indistinguishable till 7th week
How and when is cloaca/cloacal membrane divided?
Divided by urorectal septum in 5th week into an anterior urogenital sinus and a posterior rectum. Cloacal membrane concurrently split into anterior urogenital membrane and posterior anal membrane.
development of male external genitalia
week 10: genital tubercle enlongates into the glans penis and shaft. During late fetal development, urogenital folds form body of penis and labioscrotal swellings for scrotum. UGS forms the penile urethra, which extends with urethral fold fusing in the midline to encompass the penile urethra: terminal urethra from surface endoderm, erectile tissue form mesoderm.
development of female genitalia
genital rubercle becomes glans clitoris and shaft of clitoris. urogenital folds do not fuse, but becomes labia minora that are lateral to the urogenital membrane (hymen). unfused labioscrotal folds become labia majora.
derivatives of urogenital sinus in males
Urinary bladder
Urethra (except navicular fossa)
Prostatic utricle
Prostate gland
Bulbourethral glands
Seminal colliculus
derivatives of genital tubercle in males
Penis

Corpus spongiosum penis
derivatives of urogenital folds and labioscrotal swellings in males
Ventral aspect of penis, scrotum
derivatives of UGS in females
Urinary bladder
Urethra
Vagina
Urethral glands
Paraurethral glands
Greater vestibular glands
Vestibule of vagina
derivatives of genital tubercle in females
Clitoris
Glans clitoridis
Corpora cavernosa clitoridis
Bulb of the vestibule
derivatives of urogenital folds, labioscrotal swellings in females
labia minora, labia majora
descent of testes
band of tissue - gubernaculum - connects developing testes to urogenital ridge. Beginning 12th week, gubernaculum shortens relative to fetal growth, and peritoneal cavity evaginates into scrotum as the processus vaginalis. testes pulled into scrotum along with the processus vaginalis. portion of processus vaginalis forms walls of tunica vaginalis of testis.
descent of ovaries
gubernaculum attaches ovary to labioscrotal swelling; relative growth pulls ovary towards broad ligament. upper portion of female gubernaculum becomes ovarian ligament, distal portion becomes roud ligament of uterus, which courses into the labio majora via processus vaginalis (obliterated)
failure of paramesonephric ducts fusing causes...?
can result in duplicated structures, e.g. bicornuate uterus
failure of distal 2/3rds of the vagina to differentiate from posterior UGS can lead to...?
atresia of vagina, imperforate hymen
Incomplete separation of UGS from rectum leads to...?
rectourethral fistulas, rectocloacal canal, rectovesical fistulas.
failure of urogenital folds to fuse around urogenital membrane results in...?
hypospadias
failure of processus vaginalis to obliterate causes...?
congenital indirect hernia, hydrocele
development of internal female genitalia
cortical cords develop and surround individual germs cells, becoming follicular cells that secrete female hormones.
-medullary cords degenerate, replaced with connective tissue
-oogonia develop, differentiate into primary oocytes
-oocytes undergo mitosis --> 1-2 million survive by birth frozen in p-meiosis til ovulation
What the Gonad, Cortex, and Medulla form in Males, Females
Male G,C,M: testis, seminiferous tubules, rete testis

Female G,C,M: Ovary, Ovarian follicles, Rete ovarii
development of male internal genitalia
During 7th week, proliferation of medullary sex cords. During 3rd month, medullary cords differentiate into seminiferous tubules and rete testis. Cortical cords degenerate and tunica albuginea forms.
hormone-producing derivatives of intermediate mesoderm
Sertoli and Leydig cells. Sertoli secrete AMH; which induces testosterone producing Leydig cells, and induces differentiation of spermatogonia from primordial sex cells, and development of seminiferous tubules from primitive sex cords.
timeline of gonad development
5th week: epithelial of urogenital ridge grow and invaginate into intermediate mesoderm; form primitive sex cords.
6th week: primordial germ cells arising from wall of yolk sac migrate to gonadal region.
8th week: gonad is a testis or ovary (determined by presence of Y chromosome)
