Q

What is the rotation of the kidneys like?

A
  1. The caudal part of the embryo grows away from the kidneys so that the kidneys occupy progressively higher cranial levels
  2. As the kidneys change their position and “ascend”, they rotate medially almost 90o
  3. By the 9th week, the kidneys come in contact with the suprarenal glands as they attain their adult position

26
Q

What happens to the caudal primordial arterial branches that supply the kidneys?

A

They undergo involution and disappear

27
Q

What is unilateral renal agenesis?

A

Failure of the ureteric buds to form and penetrate the metanephrogenic blastema–> no kidney formation

28
Q

Who is more often affected by unilateral renal agenesis?

A

Boys > girls

29
Q

Which kidney is often absent in the unilateral renal agenesis?

A

The left one

30
Q

What happens if there is bilateral renal agenesis?

A

Incompatible with postnatal life

31
Q

What is the bilateral renal agenesis known as?

A

Potter’s syndrome

32
Q

What is the path of events with Potter’s syndrome?

A

Bilateral renal agenesis –> oligohydramnios –> fetal compression –> limb deformities, facial deformities, pulmonary hypoplasia

33
Q

Where are ectopic kidneys most often found?

A

Located in the pelvis

34
Q

Where do some ectopic kidneys lie?

A

In the inferior part of the abdomen

35
Q

How do pelvic kidneys and other forms of ectopia arise?

A

Failure of the kidneys to “ascend”

36
Q

What causes the horseshoe kidney formation?

A

Fusion of inferior poles of kidneys

37
Q

What prevents ascension of the kidneys in the scenario of horseshoe formation?

A

Prevented by the inferior mesenteric artery, caught by the root of the artery

38
Q

What is the kidney function like in the horseshoe formation?

A

Normal kidney function

39
Q

Why is the horseshoe kidney formation usually associated with infections?

A

Urinary stasis –> infection or stone formation beacuse of the curved structure of the ureter

40
Q

If there is no rotation of the kidneys, what is their position like?

A

Same as the embryonic position, the hilum faces anteriorly

41
Q

If there is over-rotation, what is the position of the kidneys like?

A

The renal hilum faces posteriorly, rotation has progressed too far

42
Q

What is lateral rotation of the kidneys like?

A

The kidney faces laterally

43
Q

What does incomplete division of the ureteric primordium lead to?

A

Divided kidney with a bifid ureter

44
Q

What does complete division of the ureteric primordium lead to?

A

Double kidney with a bifid (merged) ureter or with separte completely ureters

45
Q

What causes supernumerary kidney?

A

The presence of TWO ureteric buds

46
Q

What causes supernumerary kidney?

A

Formation of two metanephric diverticula

47
Q

What is crossed fused renal ectopia?

A

Kidney migrates to the opposite side, one kidney ascends to its normal position, carrying the other one with it

48
Q

What causes crossed fused renal ectopia?

A

Developing kidneys fuse while they are in the pelvis

49
Q

Which structure separates the cloaca into different components, and what are they?

A

Urorectal septum seaparates the cloaca into urogenital sinus (anteriorly) and rectum (posteriorly)

50
Q

Which structure penetrates the mesonephric duct? What happens?

A

The ureteric duct penetrates the mesonephric duct –> dissolves in the posterior wall of the urinary bladder –> forms the trigone

51
Q

What are the different parts of the urogenital sinus?

A
  1. Cranial vesical part
  2. Middle pelvic part
  3. Caudal genital part
52
Q

What does the cranial visceral part give rise to?

A

Most of the bladder
Allantois –> urachus –> median umbilical ligament

53
Q

What does the middle pelvic part of the urogenital sinus give rise to?

A
  1. Neck of bladder
  2. Intramural urethra
  3. Prostatic urethra
  4. Membranous urethra
  5. Entire female urethra
54
Q

What does the caudal genital part of the urogenital sinus give rise to?

A

Spongy urethra

55
Q

What is a urachal sinus ?

A

Urachus does not seal close to the umbilicus and leads to a blind-ending tract from the umbilicus into the urachus called a sinus.

56
Q

What is a urachal fistula?

A

Urachus does not seal off, and there is a connection between the bladder and the umbilicus

56
Q

What is a urachal cyst?

A

Sac of tissue and fluid between the bladder and umbilicus.

57
Q
A
58
Q

What causes urachal cyst?

A

The urachus does not complete its natural structural change, it can allow a fluid pocket to build up

59
Q

What is the relation between the mesonephric ducts and the seminal vesicles?

A

The seminal vesicles sprout from the distal mesonephric ducts in response to testosterone during the 10th week of fetal development

60
Q

What is the relation between the ductus deferens and mesonephric ducts?

A

The mesonephric duct becomes the ductus deferens and the epididymis, opening into the urogenital sinus

61
Q

Which part of the male urethra epithelium is derived from the ectoderm? Where is the rest of the male urethra derived from?

A

Navicular fossa
The rest of it is derived from the endoderm of the urogenital sinus

62
Q

Where is the female urethra epithelium derived from?

A

The endoderm of the urogenital sinus ONLY

A
