Q

Kidney stones cause “loin to groin” pain where pain fibers travel in

A

Sympathetics

48
Q

Located in the outer cortex and inner medulla of the kineys and made up of Nephrons (cortex) and collecting tubules (mostly medulla)

A

Uriniferous tubules

49
Q

Ball of capillaries where urine formation begins

A

Glomerulus

50

51
Q

Filter blood to remove wastes as Urine

-Arrises from metanephrogenic blastema

52
Q

An extension of the renal artery

A

Glomerulus

53
Q

How does blood get to the Glomerulus?

A

Renal artery –> segmental artery –> interlobar artery –> arcuate artery –> interlobular artery –> afferent arterioles –> glomerulus

54
Q

The urogenital ridge is made up

  1. ) Medially of?
  2. ) Laterally of?

55
Q

Initial non-functional kidney system located in the cervical region that completely regresses in week 4

A

Pronephros

56
Q

The 2nd kidney system that is located in the thorax-abdomen and briefly serves as a filtration system, but mostly regresses

A

Mesonephros

57
Q

The mesonephros is made up of which three things?

A

Mesonephric ducts

72
Q

Defect in anterior ventral midline during fusion of lateral body folds that results in bladder being located outside abdominal wall

A

Bladder Extrophy

73
Q

Located in the testes and contain sertoli and germ cells

A

Seminiferous tubules

74
Q

Lead to ducts called rete testis which then lead to efferent ductules

A

Seminiferous tubules

75
Q

The seminiferous tubules are surrounded by connective tissue that contains

A

Leydig cells

76
Q

Induced by primordial germ cells from the yolk sac during weeks 4-6

A

Gonad formation

77
Q

Travel through the allentois and will later give rise to sperm and eggs

A

Primordial germ cells

78
Q

Formed from gonadal ridge mesoderm after induction by primordial germ cells

A

Primitive sex cords

79
Q

In males, the primitive sex cords will proliferate and form the medullary cords of the

80
Q

These medullary cords will then give rise to the

A

Seminiferous tubules and rete testes

81
Q

The primitive sex cords will proliferate in cortical surface of ovary in females and the cortical cells will become

82
Q

Secrete the Mullerian Inhibiting Factor (MIH), which prevents the paramesonephric duct from forming

A

Sertoli Cells

83
Q

Forms from the prostatic urethra

84
Q

Form along the cloacal membrane where endoderm and ectoderm meet without intervening mesoderm

A

External Genitals

87
Q

The cloacal membrane eventually forms the
