midterms again except this time cymbalta is kicking my ass even more Flashcards
GRABBING CYMBALTA BY THE FUCKING NECK BECAUSE I MIGHT HAVE BRAIN ZAPS AND A SHITTY MEMORY BUT THE ASIAN IN ME NEEDS THE 4. FUCKNG 0!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (155 cards)
Where is GnRH made
hypothalamus
What does LH do where is it made
anterior pituitary, it acts on endocrine cells to make steroid and peptide hormones. ONLY IN FEMALE it contributes to gamete production
What does FSH do where is it made
Gamete production made in anterior pituitary
What does high GnRH pulses do, opposite?
LH secretion for high. FSH for low. pulses needed for reproductive function.
Sertoli cells
gie sperm nutrients and remove waste. are packed close to the spermatids and shit
leydig cells
make t
spermatogenesis
spermatogonia form during fetal development. 2n spermatogonia split to make primary spermatocytes which are also 2n. secondary spermatocytes also 2n. Spermatids are n and so are spermatozoa (they are the mfs with the tails)
blood testis barrier
weird shit on sperm surface makes it look wonky so you need a barrier by tight junctions so its not attacked
Acrosome
comes from golgi, has hyalyronsidase and acrosin which breaks down the zona pellucida (glycoprotein that covers oocyte)
semen composition
water, lubricant (mucus), buffers to neutralize acid, nutrients, enzymes, zinc, prostaglandins
FSH regulation
makes inhibin that make cell products which makes inhibin that negatively regulates FSH.
LH regulation
LH acts on leydig cells which make T, which negatively regulates GnRH
FSH purposes for XY
sperm deveopment, secrete androgen binding protein to bring more androgens to testis
LH purposes for XY
stimulates leydig cells which make T
LH and FSH cycle throughout XY life
go up and down prenatally, low during childhood, increases in puberty (basically like T)
AMH (anti mullerian not malarian!) cycle throughout XY life
high to low from childhood to puberty
XY hypogonadism symptoms (for both types)
decreased activity of testes, low androgens inhibin B, low AMH, low sperm production
primary hypogonadism
high GnRH, LH, FSH, low T due to genetics injury, inflammation in testes. Solution exogenous testosterone (not me pretending to have this to get my fucking T)
secondary hypogonadism
hypothalamus/anterior pituitary gland damaged. LOW EVERYTHING BITCH. treatment include gonadotropin therapy
DHT (di hydro T)
male pattern balding and prostate growth 5- a reductase inhibitors can treat prostate enlargement and baldness
testosterone effects
more sperm. prostate and seminal vesicle secretion. maintains reproductive tract, increases sex drive, negative feedback on GnRH, LH, FSH, male pattern hair growth, muscle, sebaceous gland secretion, protein making, aggression, more blood
oogenesis
oogonium go through mitosis to make diploid oogonia. before birth, oogonia enter meiosis I. you are born with primary oocyte and stuck with it until you get ur period.
ovulation
release primary oocyte from meiosis 1 and put it into meiosis II. now secondary oocyte. THIS IS THE FIRST INSTANCE OF HAPLOIDY. increase LH. increase progesterone (smooth muscle contraction). increase collagenase (to dissolve connective tissue). oocyte and cumulus cells yeeted into gap, picked up by fimbria.
Thecal cells
make steroid hormone precursors (i.e. androgens)
