Q

The mesonephros is functional at what weeks?

17
Q

mesonephric vesicles develop in what direction?

A

craniocaudal

18
Q

The nephrogenic chord makes a space termed the _____

A

mesonephric vesicle

19
Q

The mesonephric vesicle begins to grow toward the mesonephric duct, forming what structure?

A

mesonephric tubule

20
Q

Mesonephric ducts extend into lower lumbar and fuse with cloaca, this structure contributes to the ___ ____

A

posterior bladder

21
Q

Canalization begins ____ and grows _____

A

caudally

cranially

22
Q

The mesonephric duct joining the cloaca initiates growth of the _______ _____

A

Metanephric diverticulum (ureteric bud)

23
Q

The metanephroid has 2 components what are they?

A

Collecting portion

Excretory portion

24
Q

The collecting portion gives rise to what structures?

A

renal pelvis, ureters, collecting ducts, major & minor calyces

25
Q

The excretory portion gives rise to what?

A

forms Bowmans capsule, PCT, DCT, and loop of Henle

26
Q

The metanephric blastema is a mass of ____ which gives rise to what structure?

A

mesencyme

kidney

27
Q

The ascent of the kidney occurs in what weeks?

A

6-9

28
Q

The kidneys initially form near the ____ end of the embryo

A

caudal

29
Q

The growth in length of the kidneys causes them to _____

A

ascend

30
Q

T/F: Kidneys drag their blood supply with them as they ascend

A

False. They do not drag them they send out new and slightly more cranial branches, which cause the regression of the more caudal branches

31
Q

If the kidney does not ascend it is called what?

A

pelvic kidney

32
Q

If the inferior poles of both kidneys fuse together what is it called?

A

Horseshoe kidney

33
Q

A kidney with more than 1 renal artery has _____ aa. and is usually caused by what?

A

supernumerary

improper regression of branches of arteries during ascent of the kidney

34
Q

The ______ will start to occlude and become obliterated and will be called the urachus in adults

A

Allantois

35
Q

The Allantois will start to occlude and become obliterated. This structure is called what in the adult?

A

urachus

36
Q

Persistent intraembryonic allantois can cause what 3 complications?

A

Urachal cyst
Urachal sinus
Urachal fistula

37
Q

When allantois closes off at either end, but you have swelling of fluid in it to create a pocket is termed what?

A

Urachal cyst

38
Q

Allantois closure at one end, open on the other is termed what?

A

Urachal sinus

39
Q

Alantois not closed off at all creates what?

A

Urachal fistula
