||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.

||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.
