Development of the Reproductive Organs BERNARD GONDOS, M.D. Department of Pathology, University of Connecticut, Farmington, CT 06032 ABSTRACT Understanding of the development of the reproductive organs is essen­ tial to the evaluation of abnormalities in sexual differentiation. Recent advances resulting from application of genetic, biochemical, and ultra- structural techniques have helped to clarify the mechanisms regulating gonadal and reproductive tract development. The present review consid­ ers the major processes of sexual differentiation, development of the female reproductive system and development of the male reproductive system with emphasis on current understanding of basic regulatory mech­ anisms involved in normal and abnormal development of the reproductive organs.

I. Introduction In general, the function of the genital (reproductive) system in males and females is the formation, nurture, and transport of germ cells. In females, an additional function is to provide the proper milieu for the fetal development after conception. Like the urinary system, the genital system derives from intermediate mesoderm. The development of these two systems is tightly interwoven as structures that develop as parts of the urinary system gain function in the genital system. In the adult, the sexual organs differ between males and females. The early genital system, however, is similar in both sexes, and the sexual differentiation of this initially indifferent, bipotential system starts only in the seventh week of embryonic development. The details on how sexual differentiation is determined will be discussed below, but it is worth mentioning here that irregularities in this process result in disorders of sexual differentiation (DSDs). DSDs occur in approximately 1 in 4,500 live births and will be discussed in a separate lecture.

  • On Cysts of the Prepuce and Raphé, with an Illustrative Case
    ON CYSTS OF THE PREPUCE AND RAPHE, WITH AN ILLUSTRATIVE CASE* By GEO. HENRY EDINGTON, M.D., M.R.C.S. Eng., Surgeon to the Central Dispensary, and Extra Surgeon to the Dispensary of the Western Infirmary, Glasgow. Cysts of the prepuce receive but scant notice in the general text-books of surgery, and it is partly on this account that I now record the following case. I have been led, however, to do so also from the fact that recently cysts in this region have been engaging the minds of some writers in connection with their probable origin in a congenital abnormality. I shall first notice a case which has come under my own observation, and then refer to the literature of the subject. Willie D., aged 1 year, was brought to the Central Dispensary on 27th October, 1897, on account of his being the subject of " phimosis, accompanied by a small lump" at the distal extremity of the prepuce. This lump was first observed when he was 3 months old, and it increased in size till he reached the age of 6 months, since when no alteration in dimension had been noticed. It was stated, however, that, after ceasing to enlarge, the swelling had become harder than when first noticed. The prepuce (Fig. 1, p. 423), which was long, presented on inspection a spherical swelling on the under aspect of the free margin, with the antero-posterior vertical meridian corres- * Paper read and specimen shown at the meeting of the Glasgow Pathological and Clinical Society, 11th April, 1898.

  • Mesoderm Divided Into Three Main Types - Paraxial (Somite) - Intermediate - Lateral (Somatic and Splanchnic)
    Mesoderm Divided into three main types - Paraxial (somite) - Intermediate - Lateral (somatic and splanchnic) Fates of Mesoderm Paraxial - Dermis of skin - Axial Skeleton - Axial and limb muscles/tendons Intermediate - Urogenital system (kidney and gonads) Lateral - Somatic inner body wall (connective), pelvis, limb bones (parietal) - Splanchnic heart and vasculature (visceral) Paraxial (somitic) Mesoderm Head Region - Head mesoderm + neural crest forms: skeleton, muscles, and conntective tissue of the face and skull Trunk Region - Forms somites, which will produce: muscle, bone and dermis Two Cell Types: Epithelial: regular, simple sheet of cells, immobile Mesenchyma: irregular and migratory These two cell types can undergo transformation into one another. Somitogenisis (Somite Formation) Somites form progressively from cranial to caudal end of the notochord in a sequential fashion. One closes before the next forms. Somite Differentiation The somite splits into the epithelial dermamyotome (dermis/muscle) and the messenchymal sclerotome (skeletal). The somite is all paraxial mesoderm. Somite location determines the fate of its associates derma/myo/sclerotomes. Intermediate Mesoderm Urogenital system: - Kidneys - Gonads - Reproductive Duct Systems Runs alongside the paraxial mesoderm. Urogenital System Along mesonephric duct: - Pronephros, mesonephros, and metanephros - Pronephros fall away as gonad develops on ventral-medial side of mesonephros. - Metanephrogenic mesenchyme gives rise to kidney. The mesonephric duct will become the Wolffian duct forming at the nephric bud. The Mullerian duct forms via an invagination on the dorsal side of the nephric duct. The gonad will degenerate one of the two ducts depending on the hormones it produces. XX degenerates Wolffian duct – no testosterone, anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) not produced, and Mullerian duct can develop in addition to female reproductive organs (ovaries, vagina) XY degenerates Mullerian duct – testosterone, AMH produced, Wolffian duct continues as male reproductive organs (testes, penis) develop.

  • Renal Development
    RENAL DEVELOPMENT Jon Barasch M.D., Ph.D. Telephone: 305-1890 e-mail: [email protected] SUGGESTED READING: Larsen, 3rd edition, pp 265 (first three paragraphs) - 266, 268-276 and figure 10-10 LEARNING OBJECTIVES: You should be able to: 1. Describe the three kidneys that are produced during development and know what happens to each one. 2. Explain what is meant by ‘reciprocal induction’ and why it poses problems in interpreting experiments in developing kidney. 3. Describe the stages of nephron formation from the renal vesicle. 4. Discuss the regulators of mesenchymal to epithelial transition in the intermediate mesoderm and metanephric mesenchyme and name three molecules mediating conversion. 5. Describe branching morphogenesis and name the three patterns in the developing metanephros. 6. Discuss three key important ligands and their receptors. 7. Discuss the classification of congenital renal abnormalities that are associated with urological abnormalities and the possible underlying mechanisms for their association. SUMMARY: The urogenital system derives from mesenchymal cells by a process of conversion to epithelia. The development of the kidney relies on three mechanisms of epithelial morphogenesis. 1. Some newborn epithelia migrate extensively (Wolffian duct), 2. some undergo branching morphogenesis (ureteric bud) and 3. some produce highly segmented tubules (nephrons). GLOSSARY: Angiotensin II: your favorite vasoconstrictor and regulator of proximal tubule reclamation of NaCl and water by receptor type 1. Receptor type-2 modulates cell growth and seems to play a role in congenital abnormalities. Arcade: a tubule of ureteric bud that induces a few nephrons simultaneously. The nephrons join to a common drainage called a connecting tubule that feeds into the ureteric’s collecting duct.
