Trichomoniasis
29
What chromosome has the sex determining region and causes development of testis from bipotential gonad?
Y chromosome
30
What are the two primitive genital tracts?
Wolffian and Mullerian ducts
31
What two factors cause the development of the male internal genital tract?
Testosterone and Mullerian inhibiting factor
32
In males what happens to the Wolffian ducts?
Repro tract
33

Degenerate
34
In males what happens to mullerian ducts?
Degenerate
35

Repro tract

Penis
37
Name an x-linked recessive disorder with male karyotype 46XY, testis develop but do not descend?
Androgen insensitivity syndrome (testicular feminisation)
38
In androgen insensitivity syndrome there is congential insensitivity to androgens. Androgen induction of what duct does not occur?
Wolffian duct. Mullerian inhibition occurs so born with external female enitals but no ovaries or uterus, short vagina
39
Why is it important testis descend?
Lower temp outside body to faciliate - spermatogenesis dartos muscle contracts in scrotal sac to lower/raise testis temp
40
What is cryptochidism?
Undescended testis
41
What should be performed in cryptochidism below age 14 to miniise risk of testciular cancer?
Orchidopexy
42
Where does spermatogeneisis occur?
Seminiferous tbules
43
Where does production of testosterone occur?
Leydig cells
44
In a spermatozoon - what contains enzumes for penetrating zona pelucida and thus ovum?
Acrosome
45
What cells form a blood-testes barrier?
Sertoli cells
46
What cells secrete seminiferous tubule fluid, androgen binding globulin and inhibin and activin hormones?
Sertoli cells
47
In hormonal control of spermatogenesis: what does LH cause leydig cells to produce?
Testosterone
48
In hormonal control of spermatogenesis: What acts on sertoli cell in seminiferous tubule to secrete androgen binding globulin and inhibin (decreases FSH)?
FSH
49
wHAT RELEASE DOES gRRH have?
Pulsatile - everye 2-3 hours
50
What glycoprotein acts on Leydig cells and regulates testosterone secretion?
LH
51
What glycoprotein acts on Sertoli cells to enhance spermatogenesis and regulates by negative feedback from inhibin?
FSH
52
Is production of LH and FSH cyclical in females?
Yes
53
What secretes inhibin and activin?
Sertoli cells - feedback on FSH (inhibin inhibits and activin stimulates)
54
Exit route from testes to urethra, concentrate & store sperm, site for sperm maturation
Epididymis and vas deferens
55
Produce semen into ejaculatory duct, supply fructose, secrete prostaglandins (stimulates motility), secrete fibrinogen (clot precursor)
seminal vesicles
56
Produces alkaline fluid (neutralizes vaginal acidity), produces clotting enzymes to clot semen within female
prostate gland
57
Secrete mucus to act as lubricant
bulbourethral glands
58
Erdction is under what control?
Parasympathetic - point
59
Ejaculation is under what control?
Sympathetic - shoot
60
Name an obstructive cause of male infertility?
Cystic fibrosis
61
What is adult normal testicular volume?
12- 25 mls
62
What male imnfertility is suggested if low testicular volume, reduced seconadry sexula characteristics and vas deferens present - also high LH, FSH and low testosterone?
Non-obstructive
63
indication for surgical sperm aspiration?
Azoospermia
64
When does menstrual phase of endometrium occur?
Days 1 to 3
65
In the proliferative phase of endometrium - what hormone causes growt?
Oestrogen
66
In the secretory phase of endometrium what causes secretion?
Progesterone
67
What investigation is indicated in abnormal uterine bleeding, endometrial ablation, investigation of infertility etc?
Endometrial sampling
68
What is an indication in endometrium for a biopsy?
Thickness greater than 4mm in post menopausal woman
greater than 16mm in premenopausal women

PID (gonorrhjoea, chlamydia and enteric organisms
70
In a misscariage what products of conception can be seen in histology?
Foetal red blood cells
Chorionic villi
71
caused by a single (incidence is about 90%) or two (incidence is about 10%) sperm combining with an egg which has lost its DNA (the sperm then reduplicates forming a "complete" 46 chromosome set. Only paternal DNA is present in a complete mole.
Complete mole
72
occurs when egg is fertilized by two sperm or by one sperm which reduplicates itself yielding the genotypes of 69,XXY (triploid). Partial moles have both maternal and paternal DNA
Partial mole
73
