Histo Final

Front 1

Leydig cells

Back 1

production of testosterone

Front 2

Cryptorchidism

Back 2

failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum
 Will be sterile testes bc of temperature fault
 Testosterone is STILL PRODUCED!!
 More prome to malignancy

Front 3

Interstitial Cells of Leydig:

Back 3

- intersititial area is within the lobules between the seminiferous tubules
- these are the round cells between the seminiferous tubules!
- Possess large central nucleous
- Richly vascularized
- LH stimulates these to secrete testosterone from pituitary fland
- Start to secrete during puberty

Front 4

order of outflow from intratesticular ducts

Back 4

- Seminiferous tubulestubuli rectirete testisductuli efferentesepididymisductus deferens

Front 5

sertoli cells

Back 5

within seminiferous tubules

o Pale oval nucleus, HIGHLY infolded and posses a large nucleolus
o Well developed smooth ER
o Receptors for FSH
o Blood testes barrier established though zonulae occludens
o Support, protect, and nourish the spermatogenic cells
o Fluid to nrusih and facilitate transport of sperm through seminiferous tubules and to genital ducts
o ABP- under influence of FSH, MAINTAIN CONCENTRATION OF TESTOSTERONE in seminiferous tubule so that spermatogenesis can continue to take PLACE!
o Inhibin- inhibits synthesis and release of FSH

Front 6

ABP

Back 6

secreted by sertoli cells within the seminiferous tubules, are under the influence of FSH and will maintain the concentration of TESTOSTERONE to make sure spermatogenesis can continue to take place

Front 7

inhibin

Back 7

inhibits synthesis and relase of FSH

Front 8

Fibroids (leimyomoas)

Back 8

- Benign tumors arising from smooth muscle in the myometrium
- Estrogen will be responsible for the growth
- Smooth muscle will undergo hypertrophy and hyperplasia

Front 9

PAP SMEAR

Back 9

- Testing cells in the transformation zone of the cervix
- Simple columnarstratified squamous
- Squamo-columnar junction
o Endocervix and ectocervix

Front 10

- Metaplasia-

Back 10

o Reversible change in the cells

Front 11

- Dysplasia

Back 11

o Loss in architectural orientation and uniformity

Front 12

Cervical cancer is linked to....

Back 12

HPV virus, and can lead to changes in the epithelium

Front 13

Breast cancer

Back 13

lymph drainage of the breast is impaired
nodes
pectorial-->central-->apical

Front 14

peau d'orange

Back 14

persistant edema which causes interstitial fibrosis
abnormal ductal epithelial cells = carcinoma
