Which cell secretes what? Male reproductive system mnemonics

LH stimulates Leydig cells to produce Testosterone.
Testosterone converts the Wolffian ducts into male accessory structures.
Mnemonic: There is a L in LH and Leydig.

FSH stimulates Sertoli cells to produce Sperm.
Mnemonic: There is a S in FSH, Sertoli, and Sperm.

Inhibin is secreted from the Sertoli cells and it inhibits FSH secretion.

Hey everyone!

A quick "things to remember" list about Burkitts lymphoma for tests!

- B cell lymphoma (B for Burkitts, B for B cells!)

- All types of Burkitt's lymphoma are characterized by disregulation of the c-myc gene.

- Myc (c-Myc) is a regulator gene that codes for a nuclear transcription factor.

- The most common variant is t(8;14).

- The "starry sky" appearance on histology

- It is due to scattered tingible body-laden macrophages (macrophages containing dead body of apoptotic tumor cells).

Peroneal nerve branches and foot drop mnemonic

"Super everter, deep dorsiflexer."

Superficial peroneal nerve (superficial fibular nerve) supplies the fibularis longus (peroneus longus) and fibularis brevis (peroneus brevis). These muscles evert the foot.

The deep fibular nerve (deep peroneal nerve) supplies the tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, fibularis (peroneus) tertius, and extensor hallucis longus (propius). These muscles dorsiflex the foot.

Foot drop is due to deep peroneal nerve palsy. You can remember Drop and Deep as they both start with D.

The skin over the greater part of the dorsum of the foot is supplied by the superficial fibular nerve with the exception of the first web space, which is innervated by the deep peroneal nerve.

You can remember most of the superficial stuff (the skin) is supplied by the superficial nerve!
