Q

Which autonomic innervation does male sexual response?

A

1)Erection: Parasympathetic (pelvic nerve), Nitric oxide-> decreases cGmp-> vasodilation->proerectile./ Norepinephrine -> Calcium->Antierectile. 2)Emission: Sympathetic (Hypogastric nerve). 3)Ejaculation: Visceral and somatic nerves (pudendal nerve).

Q

Why the varicocele is more common on the left ?

A

Because the left spermatic vein enters the left renal vein at a 90 grades angle, flow is less laminar on the left than on right, left venous pressure is greater than right venous pressure.

17
Q

What is the hernia that cross through internal inguinal ring lateral to inferior epigastric artery?

A

Inguinal Indirect Hernia, much more common in males, the infants undergo a failure of processus vaginalis to close ( can form hydrocele).

18
Q

What anatomical structure is crossed by Direct Inguinal Hernia?

A

Hesselbach triangle conformed by inferior epigastric vessels, lateral border of rectus abdominis and inguinal ligament.

19
Q

Which hernia is most common in female?

A

Femoral Hernia, protrudes below inguinal ligament through femoral canal below and lateral to pubic tubercle.

20
Q

What is the function of the Mesonephric (wolffian) duct?

A

Develops into male internal structures (except prostate): Seminal vesicle, Epididymis, Ejaculatory duct, Ductus deferens. In females, remnant is Gartner duct.

21
Q

What does the Paramesonephric duct (Müllerian) develops to?

A

Fallopian tubes, uterus, upper portion of vagina. (lower portion of the vagina is from urogenital sinus)

22
Q

What is the cause of Bicornuate uterus?

A

It is an incomplete fusion of Müllerian ducts, there are high risk of complicated pregnancy.

23
Q

What is the function of SRY gene?

A

This gene produces Testis-determining factor that helps testes development.

24
Q

What hormone is secreted by Sertoli cells?

A

Sertoli cells secrete Müllerian Inhibitory factor (MIF) that suppresses development of paramesonephric ducts.

25
Q

What is the function of the testosterone during embryology?

A

Mesonephric ducts become internal male genitalia.

26
Q

What enzyme convert testosterone to Dyhidrotestosterone (DTH)?

A

5alpha reductase. DHT is important to convert urogenital sinus and genital tubercle become external male genital structures.

27
Q

Which characters develop the patient with deficient in 5-a reductase, but MIF present?

A

Genetically male child. Internal male structures. Ambiguous external genitalia.

28
Q

Genetic male, Male external genitalia but, Male and female internal genitalia, which combination of Factors the patient present?

A

Deficient in MIF, but 5-a reductase present.

29
Q

Where is the abnormal opening of penile urethra in Hypospadia?

A

The abnormal opening of penile urethra on ventral surface of penis due to failure of urethral folds to fuse, also Hypospadia is more common than Epispadia.

30
Q

Which congenital penile abnormalities are associated with Inguinal hernia and Cryptorchidism?

A

Hypospadias.

31
Q

Which of the congenital penile abnormalities is associated with extrophy of the bladder?

A

Epispadias.

*exstrophy of the bladder is a congenital gap in the bladder wall and the abdominal wall in front of it.

32
Q

What structures does form the gobernaculum and processus vaginalis in males? In females?

A

Males: gobernaculum (anchor testes) and processus vaginalis(Tunica vaginalis).
Females: gobernaculum ( ovarian ligament and round ligament of the uterus)

33
Q

What cell type lines the uterus?

A

Columnar epithelium.

34
Q

What ligament of the female pelvis connects the cervix to the pelvic side wall?

A

Cardinal ligament

35
Q

What ligament connects the ovaries to the lateral pelvic wall?

A

Suspensory ligament of the ovaries.

36
Q

What ligament connects the uterus, Fallopian tubes and ovaries to the pelvic side wall?

A

Broad ligament

37
Q

What ligament contains the uterine vessels?

A

Cardinal ligament

38
Q

To where does the testicular cancer first metastasize?

A

Para-aortic l.n.

39
Q

What is the male homologue to each of the following female structures? Vestibular bulbs, labia minora, Bartholin glands, urethral and paraurethral glands (of skene).

A

Vestibular bulbs (corpus spongiosum), labia minora (ventral shaft of the penis), Bartholin glands( bulbourethral glands),urethral and paraurethral glands (prostate).

40
Q

What gene product come from the SRY gene that underlies male genital development?

A

Testis determining factor

41
Q

What structure anchors the testes to the scrotum?

A

Gubernaculum.
