|
Chromosomal Sex
|
Presence or absence of Y chromosome
|
|
Gonadal Sex
|
Both gonads develop from same tissue, the indifferent gonad.
If Sry is present, testes develop, if absent, ovaries develop |
|
Endocrine Sex
|
presence or absence of testes
Male has Testosterone and Mullerian Inhibiting Hormone (MIH) |
|
Phenotypic Sex
|
Male - influenced by DHT (hormone from testosterone)
|
|
Brain Sex
|
Males - Estradiol (from Testosterone) masculinizes the brain.
Females - Estradiol binds to alpha-fetoprotein, the brain is then feminized |
|
Sex mix up
|
Genetic/Chromosomal sex misalignment - body tries to form testes instead of ovaries
Adrenal Gland malfunction - Fetus can develop congenital adrenal hyperplasia (enlarged clitoris, fusion of labiosacrotal swellings trying to form a scrotum) Phenotypic/Endocrine - Male fetuses lack T and DTH receptors causing testicular feminization Brain sex - T in males is converted to Estradiol, brain remains feminized, vice versa |
|

|
Hormonal Changes in Pregnancy
|
hCG, Estrogen, Progesterone, Placental Lactogen, Relaxin, Corticotropin-relaxing hormone
Resulting in: Increased output by heart and lungs, decreased GI motility Increased blood flow to reproductive tract |
|
Birthing process initiation/origin
|
Fetal pituitary gland maturation releases ACTH stimulating fetal adrenal glands to produce steroid hormones, placenta increases production of E and decreases P. E increases oxitocin receptors and stimulates prostaglandin production which stimulates rhythmic uteran contractions, causes positive feedback producing more oxitocin
|
|
Stages of Parturition
|

|
Suckling Reflex
|
Breasts will swell, milk producing lobules within mammary glands, ducts to carry milk to nipples, P, E, and placental lactogen
|
|
Milk Letdown
|
Suckling stimulates nerve endings
Signal carried to hypothalamus Hypo produces oxitocin, released by PP Oxytocin causes mammary lobules to contract Milk is emitted |
