Study Questions For Chapter 14

This document contains study questions and answers about human embryology. It asks questions about: - When phenotypic sexual differentiation begins and is completed in the embryo - What structure the sinovaginal bulbs form after proliferation and fusion - What structure within the adult female pelvis is formed from the gubernaculum - What structure the labia minora arise from embryologically - What the uterine tubes are derived from embryologically The answers provided indicate that phenotypic sexual differentiation begins at week 7 and is completed by week 20, and it provides the embryological origins of other structures like the vagina, round ligament of the uterus, labia minora, and uterine tubes.

Study Questions for Chapter 14

1.  The indifferent embryo begins phenotypic 4.  A structure found within the adult female
sexual differentiation during pelvis formed from the gubernaculum is the
(A) week 3 of development (A) broad ligament
(B) week 5 of development (B) suspensory ligament of the ovary
(C) week 7 of development (C) round ligament of the uterus
(D) week 12 of development (D) medial umbilical ligament
(E) week 20 of development (E) median umbilical ligament

2.  The indifferent embryo completes pheno- 5.  The labia minora arise embryologically from
typic sexual differentiation during which of the following structures?
(A) week 3 of development (A) Phallus
(B) week 5 of development (B) Labioscrotal swellings
(C) week 7 of development (C) Sinovaginal bulbs
(D) week 12 of development (D) Urogenital folds
(E) week 20 of development (E) Paramesonephric duct

3.  After the sinovaginal bulbs have proliferated 1.  The uterine tubes of the adult female are
and fused, they form a solid core of endodermal derived embryologically from which of the
cells called the following?
(A) vestibule of the vagina (A) Mesonephric duct
(B) uterovaginal primordium (B) Mesonephric tubules
(C) urogenital sinus (C) Paramesonephric duct

Answers and Explanations

1. C.  The embryo during weeks 1–6 remains in an indifferent or undifferentiated stage. The em-
bryo begins phenotypic sexual differentiation during week 7.
2. E.  By week 12, female and male characteristics can be recognized. By week 20, phenotypic
sexual differentiation is complete.
3. D.  The sinovaginal bulbs proliferate, fuse, and form the vaginal plate under the inductive influ-
ence of the paramesonephric ducts. The vaginal plate then canalizes to form the inferior two
thirds of the vagina.
4. C.  The round ligament of the uterus and the ovarian ligament both form from the
gubernaculum.
5. D.  In the female, the urogenital folds remain unfused and form the labia minora.
6. C.  The cranial portion of the paramesonephric ducts forms the uterine tubes.
