2. Urogenital Development Flashcards
the urogenital ridge (nephrogenic cord) arises from the __ of the trilaminar disc before giving rise to urinary and genital system
intermediate mesoderm
what are the 3 kidneys that originally develop from nephrogenic cord
pronephric, mesonephric, metanephric
which of the 3 kidneys contains functional glomeruli in week 4 and becomes ductus deferens in males around week 10
mesonephros
what is the exit point of urinary system into amniotic cavity
cloaca
which of the 3 kidneys splits into two parts: ureteric bud and a mass of mesoderm
metanephros
renogenesis (kidney development) is dependent on reciprocal induction by
RA
the renogenic mesoderm established by an RA gradient is the ___ which secretes growth factors inducing growth of ureteric bud from the caudal portion of mesonephric duct
metanephric blastema
the ureteric bud secretes growth factors stimulating metanephric blastema to become what two adult structures
glomeruli, kidney tubules
the ureteric bud becomes what adult structures
collecting duct, minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis, ureter
urine is produced by the metanephros to supplement amniotic fluid in utero, what is the condition of insufficient amniotic fluid
oligohydramnios
oligohydramnios can be indicative of what two conditions
bilateral renal agenesis, urethral obstruction
aberrant (accessory) renal arteries may enter kidney only cause problems when they enter at a pole obstructing
ureter
no kidneys develop in this condition diagnosed by oligohydramnios (results in potter’s syndrome)
renal agenesis
renal fusion can prevent rotation of hilum to midline or prevent ascension causing wrong placement aka
ectopic kidney
fused kidneys (horseshoe) usually found inferior to what major aortic artery
inferior mesenteric
cancer of kidney caused by WT1 gene mutations characterized by blood in urine
wilms tumor
the cloaca (common urogenital outflow in utero) gets divided by the __ into dorsal and ventral portions
urorectal septum
common urogenital outflow in utero occurs through what structure
cloaca
the cloaca when divided by urorectal septum dorsally becomes __ and ventrally becomes __
rectum, bladder
failure of __ to retract completely and close from the umbilicus leads to leakage of fecal matter
vitteline duct
failure of __ to retract completely and close from the umbilicus to become urachus leads to leakage of urine
alantois
two structures that preliminarily open into the bladder, one of which gets displaced to the prostate gland in males so that semen does not enter the bladder
ureteric bud, mesonephric duct
