Steps in Early Stage of Kidney Development

A
  1. The kidney forming METANEPHRIC/
    METANEPHROGENIC MESENCHYME
    becomes committed in the posterior regions of intermediate mesoderm
  2. The ureteric buds, which are epithelial branches eventually grow out from the nephric duct.
  3. Entering metanephric mesenchyme
  4. Inducing mesenchymal tissue to condense around them and differentiate into the nephrons of the mammalian kidney
  5. As the mesenchyme begins to differentiate, it tells the ureteric bid to branch and grow.
101
Q
