Gonads develop from what 3 tissues?

Primordial germ cells invade ______, migrate to genital ridges.

Fetal sex encoded on ______.

Basic pathway is the ______ pathway.
epithelium of intraembryonic coelom, mesoderm, primordial germ cells

dorsal mesentery

SRY - sex region of Y-chromosome

female
________ have biggest role in male development.

_________ have biggest role in female development.

Males:
mesonephric ducts -->
urogenital sinus -->
genital tubercle -->
labioscrotal swelling -->
Male: mesonephric ducts

Female: paramesonephric ducts

mesonephric --> ductus deferems, epidydimis
urogenital --> urethra, prostate
genital tubercle --> penis
labioscrotal --> scrotum
Females:
paramesonephric ducts -->
urogenital sinus -->
genital tubercle -->
labioscrotal swelling -->

Primary medullary cords degenerate by week ____.

Mesonephric ducts in female remain as:

Regulates genes that control ovarian development:
paramesonephric --> oviducts, uterus, upper vagina
urogenital --> lower vagina, vestibule
genital tubercle --> clitoris
lavioscrotal swelling --> vulva

Week 10

epoophoron, paroophoron, mesentery of ovary

Undescended testes associated with increased risk of ________.
Enlargement of genital tubercle
Urethral folds form urethral groove, penile urethra
Labioscrotal swelling --> scrotum

Gubernaculum

Testicular Ca

hypothalamus, anterior pituitary

Klinefelter's

Turner's
46/XX, adrenal hyperplasia, ambiguous genitalia, ovaries OK:

X-linked, androgen receptors don't work, external genitalia are feminine:

Autosomal recessive, can't convert T to DHT, ambiguous external genitalia, mesonephric duct stuff OK:
female intersex (pseudohermaphrodite)
