- sertoli cells secrete Mullerian inhibitory factor (suppresses paramesonephric duct)
- leydig cells secrete androgens to stimulate development of mesonephric ducts
32
sertoli cell deficiency
male and female internal genitalia, male external due to normal DHT
33
5 alpha reductase deficiency
male internal genitalia (because sertoli cells suppress female) but ambiguous external until puberty
34
sertoli cell function

- secretes androgen-binding protein - maintains local levels of testosterone
- tight junctions prevent AI attack of gametes
- regulates spermatogenesis
- secretes MIF in development
- temperature sensitive
35
leydig cell function
secrete testosterone in response to LH
36
theca cell function
converts cholesterol to androstenedione in response to LH
37
granulosa cell function
converts androstenedione to estogens (via aromatase) in response to FSH
38
Tanner Stages
I - prepubertal
II - pubic hair appears, breast buds form
III - pubic hair darkens/becomes curly, penis lengthens, breasts enlarge
IV - penis widens, darker scrotal skin, development of glans, raised areolae
V - adult, flat areolae
39
oogenesis
- arrested in prophase of meiosis I until ovulation
| - then arrested in metaphase of meiosis II until fertilization
40
human placental lactogen
secreted by the syncytiotrophoblasts and increases maternal insulin resistance so that blood sugar stays high for baby
- this is the cause of gestational diabetes
41
hCG functions
- maintains the corpus luteum in the first trimester
| - hCG is increased in multiple gestations, Downs, and moles/choriocarcinoma
42
Klinefelter Syndrome
