Ch3-Congenital Genitourinary Abnormalities Flashcards
Urogenital ridge (elevationof intermidiate mesoderm) ➡️ develops into the urogenital tract
3rd-5th week of gestation
Urogenital ridge divides to
Genital and nephrogenic ridge
Genital ridge
Ovary
Nephrogenic ridge
Mesonephric kidney and pairedmesonephricducts
Mesonephric ducts
Wolffian ducts
Mesonephric ducts
Connect to the cloaca
Final kidney
Metanephros
Mesonephros degenerates near he end of the 1st trimester and the wolffian ducts regress as well without this hormone
Testosterone
Common opening for the embryonic urinary, genital, and alimentary tracts
Cloaca
7th week URORECTAL SEPTUM
1) rectum
2) urogenital sinu
Urogenital sinus:
1) cephalad or vesicle portion
2) middle of pelvic portion
3) caudal or cephalic part
Cephalad
Vesicle portion
Cephalad
Urinary bladder
Pelvoc portion
Femal urethra
Caudal
Cephallic part
Caudal
1) distal vagina
2) greater vestibular (Bartholin)
3) paraurethral glands
Paramesonephric ducts
Mullerian ducts
Mullerian ducts:
Fallopian tubes
Uterus
Upper vagina
Union of 2 mullerian ducts 10th week
Uterus
4th and 5th week (urinary embryology)
Mesonephric bu gives rise to a ureteric bud which grows cephalad toward its respective mesonephros
Metanephric duct
Ureter
Mullerian duct
Fallopian tube
1) Final uterine cavity is formed by the
2) Vaginal canalization
20th week
These bulbs proliferate and fuse to form the vaginal plate, which later absorbs to form the vaginal lumen
Sinovaginal bulbs
Hymeneal ring
Separates the vaginal lumen fromnthe urogenital sinus.
