(191 cards)
Primary sex organs: male, females
testes
ovaries
Sperm and ovum are these types of cells and are denoted in this manor
gamates, haploid(n)
Fertilization results in this
zygot
Sex chromosomes: male, female
XY
XX
The zygot grows through
mitosis
These develop in early male embryo
seminiferous tubules
intersitial cells
Indifferent gonads are found at this stage
early embryonic
This determines if indifferent gonads will form testes or ovaries, and results from this
TDF, testes determining factory.
SRY gene on Y chromosome
When do the ovaries develop in the embryo
follicles do not develop until third trimester
Testes produce these two things
testosterone
Mullerian inhibition factor (MIF)
MIF degenerates this
Paramesonephric (mullerian) duct
The paramesonephric (mullerian) duct becomes this in men, and this in woman
Degenerates in men
froms uterus and uterine tubes in females
Epididymides, ductus deferentia, ejaculatory ducts are formed from this in the presence of this
mesonephric (wolffian) duct
estosterone
This happens to the mesonephric (wolffian) duct in females
degenerates because there is no testosterone
other embryonic structures in the presence of testosterone become these
prostate
penis
scrotum
other embryonic structures without the presence of testosterone become these
vagina
labia
clitoris
At this time an ultrasound can be used to determine the sex of an embryo/child
12-13 week
Two structures that regulate gonadal function
hypothalamus
anterior pituitary
THis is released by the hypothalamust and affects this organ
gonadaltropic releasing hormone (GnRH)
anterior pituitary
THis is released by the anterior pituitary in response to GnRH
Gonadotropins (FSH and LH)
FSH stands for
folical stimulating hormone
LH stands for
Leutinizing hormone
T/F: FSH and LH are found in only females
F, found in both males and females
Gonadotropins act on this
gonads
