Development Flashcards
Urogential Ridge
intermediate mesoderm –> urogenital ridge
nephrogenic ridge -> urinary system
gonadal/genital ridge -> gential system
Pronephric phase
pronephros arise in cervical region and give rise to pronephric duct –> grows caudally and opens into cloaca
- eventually degenerates
Mesonephric phase
pronephric duct becomes mesonephric duct
Metanephric phase
definitive kidney
Mesonephros
gives rise to the mesonephric tubules that become efferent ductules of male testis
Ureteric Buds
mesonephric duct in male gives rise to ductus deferens in male
- also gives rise to ureteric buds in both male/female
Ureteric buds -> grow into intermediate mesoderm and initiate formation of definitive kidney
- gives rise to ureter, renal pelvis, calyces, collecting ducts
Nephrons
Bowman’s capsule, proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule
- arise from intermediate mesoderm through induction by arched collecting tubules
Glomerulus
formed by endothelial cells growing into renal capsule
Uriniferous tubules
consist of nephron and collecting ducts
Metanephric kidneys
definitive kidneys
- located deep in pelvis but ascend into abdomen later in development
Renal Agenesis
failure of ureteric bud and metanephric mesoderm to interact
- more common on L and in males
- if bilateral –> death
- suspect in single umbilical artery patients*
Duplicated/branched ureter
bifurcation of ureteric bud
Ectopic ureter
ureter enters urogential sinus derivative at some site other than dorsolateral wall of urinary bladder
Supernumerary kidney
due to divison of ureteric buds and interaction with areas of metanephric mesoderm
Pelvic kidneys
failure of kidney to migrate from pelvis
Crossed kidney
kidney migrates to opposite side and kidneys fuse
Horseshoe kidney
2 kidneys fuse at inferior poles and migration is blocked by inferior mesenteric artery
Multiple renal arteries
due to segmental blood supply during development
Urorectal septum
mesoderm origin –> divides cloaca into rectum and urogenital sinus
Urogential sinus
continuous with allantois –> extends to body stalk
- vesicle part -> forms urinary bladder (continuous with allantois which becomes urachus)
- pelvic part -> becomes bladder neck and prostatic urethra in male, full urethra in female
- phallic/spongy part -> grows toward genital tubercle
Perineal Body
forms where urorectal septum comes in close contact with cloacal membrane
Mesonephric ducts and ureteric bud
incorporated into posterior wall of developing urinary bladder
- results in trigone of bladder formed by mesonephric duct
Epithelium of entire bladder
ENDODERM of urogential sinus
Urethra
Proximal male -> urogential sinus
Distal male -> ectoderm
Female -> urogenital sinus
