Development of Urinary/Repro Systems (Exam 3) Flashcards
Urinary and reproductive systems develop from _________.
intermediate mesoderm
What are the exceptions to urinary and reproductive systems being derived from intermediate mesoderm? What are they derived from?
epithelium of urinary bladder + urethra
endoderm
The ducts of the urinary and reproductive systems same a common cavity called:
urogenital sinus
Intermediate mesoderm migrates ventrally and proliferates to form what?
nephrogenic cords
The cranial portion of nephrogenic cords are (segmented/unsegmented) and the caudal portion are (segmented/unsegmented).
segmented
unsegmented
The kidneys develop from what 3 pairs of systems?
- pronephros
- mesonephros
- metanephros
Term for clusters of cells connected to pronephric duct in development of kidneys that is nonfunctional.
pronephros
Mesonephros consists of _______ tubules and mesonephric duct and is temporarily functional in some species.
excretory
Mesonephros is functional and becomes the adult kidney in ______ and ______.
fish
amphibians
Term for adult kidney of dual origin.
metanephros
______ arises as the mesonephric duct evaginates dorsally.
ureteric bud
What does the ureteric bud of the metanephros form?
collecting system
The (proximal/distal) end of the ureteric bud of the metanephros expands to form the renal pelvic, calyces, and collecting tubules while the (proximal/distal) part forms ureters.
distal
proximal
Process of collecting ducts continuing to branch
nephrogenesis
When does nephrogenesis stop?
at birth
(T/F) Kidney is regenerative.
False
Term that means the absence of one means the other cannot grow or differentiate.
reciprocal differentiation
The two _____ primordia promote reciprocal differentiation.
kidney
All reproductive structures in both sexes go through _________. What does this mean?
indifferent stages
means they resemble neither sex
(T/F) All primordia of the reproductive system are present in both sexes.
True
Gonads begin as longitudinal condensations of intermediate mesoderm called ________.
genital ridges
Cells of the developing reproductive system form ______ which are connected to surface epithelium and receive primordial germ cells.
primitive sex cords
What encodes the testis-determining factor?
SRY gene
The differential stage in formation of the gonads involves morphogenic changes of what 2 cell types?
cord cells
interstitial cells
Cord cells differentiate into ______ that cause regression of the ______ duct which inhibits formation of female gonads.
sertoli cells
paramesonephric
Cords with the spermatogonia form what structures?
seminiferous tubules
Cord cells near the mesonephric tubules form what structure?
rete testis
Interstitial cells form _______ which produce what?
leydig cells
testosterone
Term for functional part of testis
medulla
When do seminiferous tubules become patent?
sexual maturity
What does testosterone induce during the differential stage of gonads?
sexual differentiation
______ expands and becomes the functional part of the ovary.
cortex
Sex cords in the developing ovary dissociate into clusters to form _______.
follicles
