Cloaca Flashcards
1
Q
Cloaca
A
Expanded hindgut caudal part (caudal to allantois origin)
2
Q
Division
A
Urorectal septum arises in angle between allantois and hindgut, it grows caudally dividing cloaca into:
1. Anterior part (primitive urogenital sinus)
2. Posterior part (recto-anal canal)
Primitive urogenital sinus is subdivided by entrance point of mesonephric duct into:
1. Upper part (vesicourethral canal)
2. Lower part (definitive urogenital sinus) which is divided into upper segment (pelvic part) and lower segment (phallic part)
3
Q
Fate: vesicourethral canal
A
Gives rise to:
1. Urinary bladder except trigone
2. Preprostatic and upper ½ of prostatic urethra (in♂), whole urethra (in ♀)
4
Q
Fate: definitive Urogenital sinus
A
- Pelvic part: Gives rise to lower ½ of prostatic and membranous urethra (in ♂)
- Phallic part : Gives rise to most of spongy urethra (in ♂) and vestibule of vagina (in ♀)
