Embryo urinary tract Flashcards
urinary tract derived from which part of mesoderm?
intermediate mesoderm
3 sets of embryonic kidneys
- pronephros
- mesonephros
- metanephros
pronephros
week 4
cervical region
transitory, nonfunctional
metanephros
late week 4
temporary function
includes nephrotomes, mesonephric ducts and tubules
metanephros
5th week
by 12th week, most of amniotic fluid is urine
permanent kidney
derivatives of ureteric bud
ureters, renal pelvis
derivatives of mesonephric duct
collecting tubules, calices
urogenital ridge forms 2 things
- nephrogenic cord
2. gonadal ridge
metanephric mesoderm (aka blastema) derived from
caudal part of nephrogenic cord
derivative of metanephric mesoderm (aka blastema)
nephron- renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted
ureteric bud and metanephric buds undergo what kind of induction?
reciprocal induction
difference in fetal kidney appearance
they are lobulated
positional change of kidneys
initially in pelvis, but appear to ascend as caudal portion of embryo grows to the lumbar region
rotation of kidneys
rotate 90 degrees medially
blood supply of kidneys changes with ‘ascent’
common iliac –> renal a. off abdominal aorta
