All embryos look morphologically the same until about seven weeks in utero despite the fact that the genetic sex of the embryo is determined at fertilization. This era is called the ambisexual or indifferent period. Identifiable primordial germ cells (identified because of the continued phrase of very early embryonic transcription facets such as for example oct-4 ) first appear in the epiblast associated with early embryo. These cells later detach on their own through the epiblast and migrate by amoebo They stay here until about 5 months once they once again migrate by amoebo (Fig. 14.18). It really is thought that trophic facets (chemoattractive proteins) be the cause in directing the migration of this cells to the region that is mesonephric. Upon their arrival they stimulate the adjacent epithelium that is coelomic well due to the fact underlying mesenchyme to proliferate and form cords of tissue called the primitive intercourse cords (Fig. 14.19). The rise of this ancient intercourse cords causes a ridge to make, which is sometimes called the genital or gonadal ridge. The vaginal ridge is the precursor for the gonads. […]
