Q

What is the importance of the pronephros?

A

Produces a pronephric DUCT which extends from the cervical region to the cloaca Drives development of the next developmental stage

Q

What happens during regression of the pronephric system?

A

Mesonephric tubules develop which will later form the Bowman’s capsule Capillaries develop which later form the glomerulus

Q

How does the collecting system develop?

A

Ureteric bud makes contact with the metanephric tissue so that it expands and branches to form the renal pelvis - splits into major and minor calyces

15
Q

Describe the ascent of the metanephric kidney

A

In the pelvis, metanephros receives arterial supply from a pelvic branch of the aorta During its ascent, it is vascularised by arteries that come from the aorta at continuously higher levels. Lower vessels usually degenerate.

16
Q

How does renal agenesis occur?

A

When the ureteric bud fails to interact with the intermediate mesoderm. Get failure of the kidney to form on that side.

17
Q

What can abnormal location of the kidneys be caused by?

A

One of the kidneys fails to pass through the arterial fork formed by the umbilical arteries Kidneys stay in the pelvis close to commn iliac artery - pelvic kidney

18
Q

How can horseshoe kidneys occur?

A

Pushed close together during passage through ascent so that the lower poles fuse. Stays at level of lumbar vertebrae since ascent prevented by inferior mesenteric artery.

19
Q

What is Wilm’s tumour?

A

Cancer of kidneys Affects children by age 5 Due to a mutation Can be associated with other mortalities

20
Q

What are duplication defects and ectopic ureteral orifices caused by?

A

Partial/complete splitting of the ureteric bud can cause ectopic ureteral opening/two ureters.

21
Q

Where can ureters drain into in ectopic ureteral orifices?

A

Vagina, urethra, abnormal entrance in bladder, epididymal region

22
Q

What causes cystic kidney disease?

A

Atresia of the ureter Urine cannot get to the bladder Large, fluid-filled cysts form in the kidney

23
Q

What mode of inheritance is polycystic kidney disease?

A

Autosomal recessive

24
Q

What happens in polycystic kidney disease?

A

Cysts form from collecting ducts so kidneys become large Renal failure occurs Presents early with a poor prognosis

25
Q

What separates the urogential sinus and anal canal?

A

Urorectal septum

26
Q

What connects the urogential sinus with the umbilicus?

A

The urachus

27
Q

What does the urachus become when it loses its patency?

A

The median umbilical ligament

28
Q

What is the outflow of the urinary tract during development?

A

Urogenital sinus, through the urachus, out of the umbilicus

29
Q

What is the urogential sinus divided into?

A

Future bladder (largest upper part) Pelvic part (narrow canal) Phallic part Pelvic and phallic parts of the future urethra

30
Q

What will the pelvic part of the urogenital sinus give rise to in males?

A

Prostatic and membranous parts of the urethra

31
Q

Describe how in the male, the bladder, urethra and kidneys come together

A

Mesonephric ducts make contact with the urogenital sinus Ureteric bud sprouts from the mesonephric duct Smooth muscle appears and urogenital sinus begins to expand Ureteric buds and mesonephric ducts make independent openings in UGS Mesonephric ducts are maintained (ureters) and prostate and prostatic urethra are formed

32
Q

Describe how in the female, the bladder, urethra and kidneys come together

A

Mesonephric ducts make contact with urogenital sinus Ureteric bud sprouts from mesonephric duct UGS expands and mesonephric ducts begin to regress Smooth musculature develops MD regression continues and ureteric bud opens into UGS

33
Q

What do the mesonephric ducts become in men? What maintains them?

A

Ejaculatory ducts Androgen hormone

34
Q

What is the female urethra formed from?

A

The pelvic part of the urogenital sinus

35
Q

Where are the different parts of the male urethra formed from?

A

Pre-prostatic, prostatic and membranous formed from pelvic part of urogenital sinus Spongy part from the phallic part

36
Q

What is a fistula?

A

Inappropriate connection between tracts

37
Q

What is a urachal fistula?

A

When lumen of intraembryonic portion of the allantois persists. Can cause urine to drain into the umbilicus

38
Q

What is exstrophy of the bladder?

A

A ventral body wall defect in which bladder mucosa is exposed so bladder opens onto abdominal wall.

39
Q

What is hypospadias?

A

Defect in fusion of the urethral folds. Urethra opens onto the ventral surface rather than at the end of the glans
