Q

What is the testis-determining factor?

A

The key to sexual dimorphism -> Sex Determining Region (SRY) - found on the short arm of the Y chromosome. Without this, female development is established.

Q

Where do mesenchymal or stem cells or primordial germ cells migrate to?

A

Q

What happens before and during the arrival (MIGRATION) of the primordial germ cells?

A

the overlying epithelium of the genital ridge proliferates and penetrates the underlying mesenchyme forming a number of primitive sex cords - no sex differentiation yet

Q

What are primitive sex cords?

25
Each breast contains 15-20 __________ separated by adipose tissue
lobes
26
Each lobe contains ______ composed of CT and embedded alveoli
lobules
27
Milk secreting cells, embedded in lobules, arranded in grapelike clusters & convey milk into a series of secondary tubules and then into mammary ducts
Alveoli
28
Secondary tubules give way to mammary _______ which drain into the ampullae. The ampullae continues as the lactiferous ______ that terminate in the nip
ducts
29
AKA Lactiferous sinuses - site of milk storage until it passes through the nipple
Ampullae
30
Strands of CT between lobules - run between the skin and deep fascia - support the breast
Suspensory ligaments of Cooper
31
Circular pigmented area of skin surrounding the nipple - appears rough bc it contains sebaceous glands
Areola
32
Three layers of the uterus
1. Serosa - Perimetrium -> broad ligament 2. Myometrium 3. Endometrium -> Stratum Functionalis (shed during menstruation and Stratum Basalis (proliferates to regnerate the functionalis) contains lamina propria -> tubular glands
33
Three layers of the Fallopian Tube
1. Internal Muscosa -> ciliated columnar/secretory cells 2. Muscularis Layer -> thick circular and logitudinal layers of smooth muscle 3. Serosa Layer
34
Three layers of the ovaries
1. Germinal Epithelium -> simple cuboidal 2. Tunica Albuginea -> capsule of collagenous CT 3. Stroma -> deep dense cortex
35
Ova and their surrounding tissues in various stages of development
ovarian follicles
36
made up of mature ovum and its surrounding tissues that secretes estrogen
Graffian Follicles
37
Glandular body that develops from a graffian follicle after extrusion of the ovum. What does it produce?
Corpus Lutem | -> progesterone and estrogens
38
Vaginal mucosa contains rugae, smooth muscle, and is made up of what type of cell?
Stratified squamous
39
4 parts of the vulva
1. Mons Pubis 2. Labia Majora - adipose tissue, sweat, sebaceous glands 3. Labia Minora - many sebaceous glands 4. Clitoris
40
Where are the skenes glands located?
behind and on either side of the urethra aka lesser vestibular glands -> secrete mucus
41
What glands are on either side of the vaginal orifice and produce lube?
Greater Vestibular or Bartholins Glands
42
Imperferate hymen, what and its affects
Vaginal outflow obstruction- solid hymen Newborns -> mucocolpos may lead to UTI or bladder obstruction Adolescent -> amenorrhea with pain -> distended bluish hymenal membrance -> hematocolpos
43
What is Vaginal Adenosis?
when vaginal epithelium doesnt undergo proper metaplasia Normal -> glandular columnar epi (like mullerian) to squamous cell Adenosis -> glandular tissue remains - manifests as red patches, benign and disappears with age

What is the name of a rare tumor of the vagina called that develops frequently on the anterior wall of the upper third of the vagina most common between the ages of 17 and 22. Mothers tooks DES while pregnant
Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma - Malignant | Abundant glycogen accounts for clear nature of the cytoplasm - curable when small and asymptomatic

51
Carcinoma of the _________ - accounts for ____% of all malignant tumors of the female repro tract but accounts for more death then the rest combined - Mortality reduced greatly over last 50 years due to _____ - Cells do not _____ as normal but remain ________ and proliferate uncontrollably (Dysplasia)
Cervix 20% Pap smears mature, undifferentiated
52
4 risk factors of cervical cancer
1. sex at early age 2. multiple partners 3. HPV 4. other STD
53
What is a dysplasia?
lack of normal maturation of squamous epithelium- dont respond normally to stimuli - dont differentiate and proliferate uncontrollably (seen in early cancer)
54
What scale are dysplasias on? (Pathologist grades)
1. CIN-1 mild 2. CIN-2 moderate 3. CIN-3 severe
55
Carcinoma limited to basement membrane is called?
Carcinoma In-Situ (CIS) It becomes severe when the carcinoma cells cross the BM and spread to blood/lymph If caught early, can be removed surgically
56
What is the most common cause of death in advanced cervical cancer?
Renal Failue - UT obstruction
57
What type of cyst is caused by an abscess obstruction due to an infection of staph, chlamydia, and or anaerobes?
Bartholins Gland Cyst
58
Abnormal growth of vulvar skin characterized by white plaques, atrophy and parchment like consistency. no malignant potential. usually older women.
Lichen sclerosis
59
Name the stage of cervical cancer - No gross lesions, carcinoma is limited to mucosa CIS
