Q

Gametes and reproductive gonad cells in ovaries

A

Gametes are ova, then you have follicular cells which can be broken into granulosa and thecal cells. The gametes and ova together make the follicle

Q

Leydig cells - what do they secrete that will help drive male gonad production

A

Q

How do testes induce regression of mullerian duct

A

secretion of AMH and inhibin B

20
Q

How do testes induce generation of male internal and external genetalia

A

Leydig cells produce testosterone and DHT, which form male internal genetalia from Wolffian duct (top - epididymis, middle, ductus deferens, base is seminal vesicle and ejaculatory duct). DHT will also help form prostate and external genetalia

21
Q

What part of primordial gonad becomes internal male genetalia

A

medulla

22
Q

What induces regression of wolffian ducts?

A

absence of testes (NOT presence of ovary) – no AMH, no androgens.

23
Q

how do mullerian ducts differentiate

A

top - fallopian tubes
middle- fuses to become uterus
bottom-cervix and upper 1/3 of vagina

24
Q

What is internal vs external genetalia for vagina

A

upper 1/3 - internal genetalia

bottom 2/3 - external genetalia

25
Q

What part of the primordial gonad develops into internal female genetalia

A

cortex

26
Q

urogenital sinus

A

ventral part of cloacca. In males, separated into 3 regions that develop into bladder, prostatic urethra, and penile urethra. In females, common opening splits into lower 2/3 of vagina and urethra.

27
Q

Penis, scrotum, and prostate all require what to develop?

A

DHT

28
Q

Taking what hair medication might inhibit male external development, and why?

A

Propecia - it inhibits 5-alpha reductase, so you don’t get formation of external genetalia (no DHT)

29
Q

When male germ cells divide how many do we end up with at end of meiosis II?

A

4

30
Q

When female germ cells divide how many do we end up with at end of meiosis II

A

1

31
Q

In females does mitosis of germ cells continue after birth?

A

nope

32
Q

Female production of germ cells

A

no mitosis after birth, jsut have primary oocytes at diploid stage and arrested halfway through meiosis I until puberty when you resume meiosis I. Then you get haploid cells that are arrested but instead of splitting into 2 we get 1 polar body and just goes away. Then you get meiosis 2 arrested halfway through until fertilization.

33
Q

Disorders of sexual determination - what would this be?

A

sex chromosome aneuploidy (like turner syndrome, XO, or klinefelter syndrome (XXY )

34
Q

Disorders of gonadal dysgenesis would be what?

A

abnormal testes formation in utero - like androgen resistance due to loss of x linked androgen receptor

35
Q

Disorders of sexual differentiation would be what?

A

Defects in internal and/or external genetalia like enzyme deficiencies or androgen excess.

36
Q

What kind of categories of disorders of sexual development can gonadal dysgenesis be seen in?

A

all of them

37
Q

Turner syndrome - genotype, results

A

XO

Streak gonad (cannot form full ovary) 
No AMH (no testes) - so well developed mullerian duct, you do have female internal genetalia.
No testes, so no testosterone - regressed wolfian duct due to no testosterone to develop
Phenotypically we have no DHT, so female external genetalia
38
Q

Klinefelter syndrome - genotype, results

A

nondisjunction in meiosis leads to XXY
Dysgenetic testes - you get RSPO1 which is a testes repressor, so even though you have Y chromosome you get fighting between X’s and Y’s. However, usually you still get a regressed mullerian duct and developed wolffian. But the result of testes will be quite fibrous

39
Q

Loss of androgen receptor - genotype, cause, result

A

X chromosome has the androgen receptor - if receptor is not present, body cannot respond to androgens. Therefore you have no female internal genetalia, testosterone made by leydig cells though will not give internal male genetalia, either - so you get no internal genetalia at all. External genetalia will be female (no androgen recetpor)

40
Q

Loss of 5-alpha reductase - genotype, cause

A

Chromosomal XY - testes will have AMH being formed so regression of mullerian duct. Testosterone is made, so wolfian duct will develop. But testosterone will not make DHT, so genetalia will not form properly. Ambiguous - testosterone causes cliteromegaly so it will look like penis is forming but no penis, prostate, or scrotum fully develops

Can also be caused by exposure to propecia

41
Q

What are some other symptoms of turner syndrme?

A

Phenotypic issues due to aneuploidy like webbed neck, lymphedema, low set ears, wide set nipples, cubitus valgus).

42
Q

What are some other telltale symptoms of klinefelter syndrome

A

Testosterone is low, micropenis, eunuchroid body, lower segment is greater than upper segment by more than 2 inches but slhort arms. Gnecomastia as well due to elevated estradiol and breast development. Systemic phenotypic issues due to aneuploidy. These individuals will also be infertile

43
Q

In individuals with complete androgen resistance what are hormone levels like?

A

androgens high (lack of feedback), estrogen levels high (for male). Gonadotropins are high which stimulates more and more androgen production and this will be converted into estrogen since androgen receptors don’t work.

Phenotype is female with blind pouch vagina. High high estrogens and induction of female characteristics.

NO internal genetalia, like, at all

44
Q

Gonadal dysgenesis - genotype, reasons, result

A

XX karyotype but possible SRY translocation or loss of RSPO1 gene. No spermatogenesis because other Y chromasome genes not present, ambiguous genetalia, urethra does not exit in proper location

45
Q

What can be a result of taking contraceptives in pregnancy

A

Virilization of female XX genotype due to excess ndrogens
