FSH What do sertoli cells secrete? inhibin and androgen binding protein List the progression of sperm development Primordial Germ Cell - Spermatogonium - Primary Spermatocyte - Secondary Spermatocyte - Spermatids (=Spermatozoa) (PS-PSS like you're talking to a cat) What is Müllerian-inhibiting hormone (MIH)? Hormone produced by developing sertoli cells in the testis that causes breakdown of Müllerian (female) ducts in the embryo What is the target tissue of GnRH? The anterior pituitary - causes release of FSH and LH from AP What is the target tissue of LH in females? theca interna cells and the luteal cells of the ovary What are the (2) primary actions of LH in females? - stimulates ovulation - formation of corpus lutea and progesterone secretion What is the primary action of LH in males? stimulates testosterone production (via effects of Leydig cells) LH = Leydig - L for Leydig, L for LH What is the target tissue of prostaglandin? Corpus luteum – follicle What is the target tissue of progesterone? Uterus - function is to prepare uterus for fetus/maintains pregnancy What is the target tissue of FSH in males? Sertoli cells of the testes What is the target tissue of FSH in females? granulosa cells of the ovary What produces the blood-testis barrier? sertoli cells If you are in the indifferent stage and then you are exposed to Müllerian-inhibiting hormone (MIH) and testosterone, what do you end up as? Male If you are in the indifferent stage and then you are not exposed to Müllerian-inhibiting hormone (MIH) and testosterone, what do you end up as? Female If you are in the indifferent stage and then you are not exposed to Müllerian-inhibiting hormone (MIH) and you are exposed to testosterone, what do you end up as? Hermaphrodite Where does MIH (aka AMH) come from? sertoli cells Where does testosterone come from? leydig cells Given a definition, identify the term: A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary in response to GnRH. It promotes follicular development in the female, and Sertoli cell function in the male Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) Given a definition, identify the term: A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the anterior lobe of the pituitary that causes ovulation and subsequent development and maintenance of the corpus luteum. In the male, it causes Leydig cells to produce testosterone Luteinizing hormone (LH) What is the target tissue of LH in males? specifically the interstitial cells of leydig of the testes In sex differentiation, what is the role of testosterone? The presence of testosterone stabilizes the Wolffian ducts, which differentiate into the epididymis, vas deferens, and seminal vesicles What is the primary hormone of the follicular phase? a. progesterone b. prostaglandin c. estradiol d. oxytocin The fetal ovary secretes estradiol. The reason that the surge center is not defeminized in the female fetus is because _______________ prevents estrogen from crossing the blood brain barrier Alpha fetoprotein What controls the pre-ovulatory surge of GnRH? the surge center What controls the basal levels of GnRH? the tonic center BASAL? More like Basil in your Gin and tonic (GnRH) Do males develop a GnRH surge center? No. The male has testosterone produced that DOES NOT bind to Alpha fetoprotein, therefore it can pass through blood-brain barrier and cause defeminization of the surge center (why males only have tonic center What stimulates GnRH release from the tonic center? low estradiol and low progesterone (simultaneously, repressing GnRH release from surge center) What stimulates GnRH release from the surge center? high estradiol and low progesterone What respresses GnRH release from the surge center? low estradiol and low progesterone (simultaneously, stimulating GnRH release from tonic center) What does progesterone inhibit? Inhibits GnRH secretion directly, resulting in (indirect) inhibition of FSH and LH What is the function of LH in females? Luteinizing hormone (LH) acts on the theca interna cells/luteal cells of the ovary to stimulate ovulation, formation of CL, and progesterone secretion What is the function of LH in males? Luteinizing hormone (LH) acts on the Leydig cells of the testis to stimulate testosterone production What is the function of inhibin in females? acts on gonadotrophs of anterior lobe of pituitary to inhibit FSH secretion in both sexes What is LH inhibited by? Progesterone What is the limiting factor on onset of puberty? The failure of the hypothalamus to secrete sufficient GnRH What is the difference between a mare cervix and a cow cervix? cows have cartilaginous rings, horses have vertical folds What is unique about a horses ovary?
