||The support cells in the genital ridge, forming the testes, express SRY and this leads to a cascade of signaling differentiating these cells into Sertoli cells, also called sustentacular (structural support) cells of Sertoli. [[P#primordial germ cell|Primordial germ cells]] are not involved in this initial sex determination step. The anterior pituitary participates in later hormonal events. Ovary support cells (granulosa cells) differentiate in the absence of SRY. Sesonephric duct cells, while present early in genital ridge development, are not the initiators of this process but later effected by gonad differentiation. | ||The support cells in the genital ridge, forming the testes, express SRY and this leads to a cascade of signaling differentiating these cells into Sertoli cells, also called sustentacular (structural support) cells of Sertoli.

||The ureteric bud | ||The [[ureteric bud|BGDB_Sexual_Differentiation_-_Early_Embryo#Kidney_and_Mesonephric_Duct]] is a single epithelial branch forming from each mesonephric duct, that extends laterally into intermediate mesoderm as part of early metanephric formation. Mesonephric duct does not form uterus or urethra. As far as I know I made up the term "gonadal bud". | ||
{ | {The sequential development of the genital system can best be described as: | ||

- | - internal and external genital tract dependent upon primordial germ cell hormone secretion | ||

- | - mesonephric duct hormone secretion forming genital ridge then internal and external tract development | ||
- | - internal tract determining gonadal then hormone secretion for external tract development | ||
- paramesonephric duct forming genital ridge then hormone secretion for internal and external tract development | |||
|| | ||Differentiation of the initially indifferent gonad is required before internal tract and then external tract development. Both the latter require gonad development and will be abnormal without this first step. Mesonephric duct is present beside the early genital ridge, but does not induce its differentiation. Paramesonephric duct forms after gonad determnation. | ||

- | - primordial germ cells and oocytes | ||
+ | + thecal cells and interstitial cells | ||
- ductus deferens and mesonephric ducts | |||
|| | ||'''Thecal cells''' (female) and '''interstitial cells''' (male) both form the sex hormone secreting cell population in the gonads. Leydig cells and interstitial cells are 2 names for the same cell in the testis. Primordial germ cells exist in both sexes and do form oocytes, but this is not what the question asked. The ductus deferens is the male internal genital tract formed from the mesonephric ducts. | ||

||Remember the anatomy of the adult gonads, with cortical primordial follicles in the ovary and medullary seminiferous tubules. The primordial germ cells in the testis form diploid spermatogonia that proliferate by mitosis and divide by meiosis postnatally. The primordial germ cells in the ovary form primordial oocytes that proliferate by mitosis and commence meiosis prenatally in the fetal ovary. | |||

Here are a few simple questions that relate to your BGD practical, this page is not a part of today's Practical class. You should try in your own time after completing the Practical today.Take the quiz and see what you know, if you get some wrong, try working through through the 2010 BGD Practical - Fertilization to Implantation.
