Q

What is the “ascent” of the kidney?

A

• The metanephric kidney first appears in the pelvic region • Undergoes an apparent caudal to cranial shift, crossing the arterial fork formed by vessels returning blood from the fetus to the placenta

Q

Why is variation in renal blood supply so common?

A

• Due to the kidneys constantly changing blood supply during development • Additional renal arteries may be present, or superior or inferior pole vessels

25
Q

When would hydronephrosis occur?

A

• As a result of an inferior pole artery obstructing the ureter

26
Q

What happens if the ureteric bud fails to interact with intermediate mesoderm?

A

• Renal agenesis will occur

27
Q

What is one sided renal agenesis called?

A

Unilateral

28
Q

Give five ways other ways things go awry in kidney development?

A

• Migration goes wrong • Wilm’s tumour • Duplication defects • Ectopic ureter • Cystic disease

29
Q

Outline a migration defect of the kidney

A

• If kidney fails to cross the arterial fork, it will end up lower than it should • If this happens to both kidneys, a horseshoe kidney may appear due to fusion

30
Q

How can duplication errors occur (e.g. 2 ureters)?

A

• Splitting of the ureteric bud (partial or complete)

31
Q

What problems occur if there is an extra ureter?

A

• Ectopic drainage can occur into vagina urethra • Main symptom will be incontinence

32
Q

What is polycystic kidney disease?

A

• Recessive genetic disease which presents early and has a poor prognosis

33
Q

What defect can occur in multicystic kidney disease?

A

• atresia of ureter

34
Q

Give three facts about polycystic kidney disease?

A

• Recessive • Presents early • Poor prognosis

35
Q

How do abnormal renal vessels appear?

A

• As kidneys ascend they required new arterial supply, and the previous supply disappears • If they remain, they become accessory or supernumerary arteries • If these arteries are present, renal artery will not branch and form collateral circulation

36
Q

What is the cloaca?

A

• Part of the primitive gut tube shared by GI, urinary and reproductive tracts • Dilated, blind pouch

37
Q

How is the cloaca separated from the outside?

A

• By the cloacal membrane

38
Q

What is the urogenital sinus?

A

• Cloaca divided by urorectal septum • Continuous with umbilicus

39
Q

What is the urogenital sinus responsible for the genesis of?

A

• Bladder, pelvic and phallic parts

40
Q

Outline the development of the male urinary tract

A

• Mesonephric ducts reach urogenital sinus • Ureteric buds spout from MD • Smooth musculature begins to expand, urogenital sinus begins to appear • Ureteric bud and mesonephric ducts make independent openings in urogenital sinus • Prostate and prostatic urethera formed

41
Q

Where is the bladder derived from?

A

• The hindgut

42
Q

What is the function of the mesonephric duct in males?

A

• Forms part of reproductive tract

43
Q

How is the cloaca divided?

A

• By the urorectal septum

44
Q

What does division of the cloaca by the urorectal cloaca form?

A

• Urogenital sinus (future bladder and urethera) • Anorectal canal

45
Q

What is the allantois?

A

• A superoventral diverticulum of the hind gut which extends to the umbilicus

46
Q

What does the allantois become and how?

A

• Lumen of the allantois becomes obliterated to become the urachus • Urachus becomes the median umbilical ligament in adults

47
Q

Outline the development of the male urinary tract

A

• Mesonephric ducts reach urogenital sinus • Ureteric buds spout from mesonephric duct ○ Ureteric bud will become ureter opening into bladder • Smooth musculature begins to expand, UGS begins to expand • Ureteric buds and mesonephric ducts make independent openings in UGS • Prostate and prostatic urethera formed. MD is maintained in the male, forming prostate and seminal vesicles.

48
Q

What is the epithelium of the bladder derived from?

A

• The endoderm of the urogenital sinus • EXCEPT for trigone, which is derived from distal ends of mesonephric ducts

49
Q

Give the four divisions of the male urethera

A

• Pre ‐ prostatic • Prostatic • Membranous • Spongy

50
Q

Where are the first three parts of the male urethera formed from?

A

• Pelvic part of urogenital sinus

51
Q

What is the spongy part of the urethera formed from?

A

• Phallic part of UGS

52
Q

Give the three basic components of the external genitalia

A

• Genital tubercle • Genital folds • Genital swellings

53
Q

What happens to the genital tubercle in the male?

A

• Elongates and genital folds to form the spongy urethera

54
Q

How does formation of the female bladder differ from in the male?

A

• Without male hormones, the mesonephric duct regresses

55
Q

What is hypospadias?

A

• Defect in fusion of uretheral folds • Urethra opens onto the ventral surface rather than at the end of the glans • Incidence increasing (WHY)

56
Q

Give three ways in which bladder and urethera can go wrong?

A

• Fistulae • Exstrophy of the bladder • Ectopic urethral orifices

57
Q

What is exstrophy of the bladder?

A

• Congenital anomaly in which part of urinary bladder is present outside of the body • Due to maldevelopment of lower abdominal wall

58
Q

How may exstrophy of the bladder be due to a urachal fistula?

A

• A patent urachus, which normally becomes the median umbilical ligament • If it remains as a duct, it will connect the bladder to the umbilicus

59
Q

Where do the metanephric kidneys initially lie?

A

• Close to each other in the pelvis, ventral to the septum

60
Q

What does the ascent of the kidneys stem from?

A

• Growth of the embryo’s body caudal to the kidneys

61
Q

What happens to the hilum of the kidney as it develops?

A

• It initially faces ventrally (forward), but rotates medially almost 90 degrees.
