Male Gonadal Development Quiz

• Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone bind to specific intracellular protein receptors.
• This hormone-receptor complex binds to DNA to regulate tissue-specific gene transcription.
• Testosterone/receptor complex modulates the virilization of mesonephric ducts.
• Dihydrotestosterone/receptor complex modulates the differentiation of male external genitalia.
• Gonads are undifferentiated until after the 7th week of development.
• Primordial germ cells originate in the epiblast and migrate to the gonads in the 5th week.
• Male gonads proliferate and penetrate the medulla to form testicular cords under the influence of the SRY gene.
• Testicular cords divide into small networks to form the testis.
• The testicular cords are separated from the surface epithelium by a fibrous tissue layer called the tunica albuginea.
• The differentiation of male and female gonads is indistinguishable at the level of the genital ridges.
