Q

Processus Vaginalis
what is it?
what happens to it?

A

parietal peritoneum that precedes the testes (or labia majora in women) as it migrates from a position in the upper wall to outside the abdomen

usually obliterates, leaving a distal portion that surrounds the testes as tunica vaginalis

Q

Explain the relationship b/w the allontois, urachus, and urinary bladder

A

the urinary bladder is initially drained by the allantois.

this, however, is obliterated during fetal development and becomes a fibrous cord–the urachus.

remnants of the urachus can be found in adults
