DEVELOPMENT: renal development Flashcards
Early development of renal system starts at?
Day 21
Direction of early renal development
Cranial to caudal
Renal system forms from?
Intermediate mesoderm
Stages of renal development
Paired pronephros
Paired mesonephros
Paired metanephros
Which stage if development is non functional in human
Paired pronephros
Which stage in renal development forms tubules and is briefly functional. Degenerates from week 8 (make stain part of the duct in reproductive development)?
Paired mesonephros - weeks 5-11
Which stage of renal development forms from a branch of the mesonephros and is permanent in kidney. It also drains into the Cloaca
Paired metanephros
When do the first excretory tubules of mesonephros appear and the non-functional pronephros degenerates?
End of week 4 (after fertilisation)
The ureteri bud form as a branch at what end?
Caudal end
The mesonephric tissue and duct run along the embrioni in what direction?
Cranial-caudal direction
The gonadal tissue sits alongside the mesonephros AR the more caudal end forming the?
Urogenital ridge
- Excretory tubules lengthen rapidly and join the duct(B)
- Form S-shaped loops (C)
- A tuft of capillaries form at the medial end of vasculature (D) to form the glomeruli
- Tubules form the Bowman’s capsule around the glomeruli (D)
- Laterally, the tubules enter the mesonephric duct
These are stages of what?
Tubule formation
A. Duct forms and a vesicle is created within the mesonephros.
B. Vesicle grows to forms tubule
C. S-shaped loop
D. Tubule joins duct at one end and forms a capsule around the glomerulus (blood supply)
E. Relationship with genital ridge
These are steps of ?
Development of tubules
The paramesoneprhic ducts forms by?
Invagination of tissue associated with FGF expression
What causes the invagination of tissue to form the paramesonephric duct?
FGF expression
What is the permanent or ‘true’ kidney?
Metanephros
The metanephros appears when?
5th week after fertilisation
When does the metanephron produce fluid ?
9th week after fertilisation
What is fully functional after birth in producing urine?
Metanephros
What structure handles the functions of the kidney in the fetus?
Placenta
Metanephros is formed by?
Metaneohric blastema & uteric bud from mesonephros
Nephrons are formed from?
Metanephric blastema
Collecting ducts, renak oelvix and ureter are all formed from the?
Uteric bud from mesonephros
What is involved in the differentiation of the uteric bud from mesonephros to form collecting duct, renal pelvis and ureters?
Wilm’s tumour 1
Collecting ducts, renal pelvis and ureters are structured of the?
Collecting system
Structures in order of formation
- Pronephros
- Mesonephros
- Metanephros
How is a functional kidney formed?
The excretory unit and the collecting system fuse together
Postnatal hypertension - Hugson
Low nephron number
The ureteric bud dilates and eventually forms?
- ureter
- renal pelvis
- major and minor calyces
- collecting ducts and 1-3 million tubules (which form the pyramids)
Kidney becomes function al ?
12 weeks
