embryology Flashcards
Intermediate mesoderm gives rise to
urogenital ridge
urogenital ridge gives rise to …(and then)
nephrogenic ridge –>develos into 3 stes of nephric structure –> a. pronephros b. mesonephros
c. metanephros
sets of nephric structure (and area)
- pronephros (upper - cranial most)
- mesonephroes (middle)
- metanephros (lower - caudal most)
pronephros - time
appears at week 4 and then degenerates
pronephros - function
not functional in humans 5
pronephros develops by
the differentiation of mesoderm within the nephrogenic cord to form pronephric tubules and the pronephric duct
mesonephros develops by
the differentiation of mesoderm within the nephrogenic cord to form mesonephric tubules and the mesonephric duct (Wolffian duct)
mesonephric duct is AKA
Wolffian duct
mesonephros - function
- interim kidney for 1st trimester
2. later contributes to male genital center (mesonephric duct)
mesonephros - regression
most of the mesonephric tubules regress, but the mesonephric duct (Wolffian duct) persists to open into urogenital sinus
Metanephros - time
1st appears in 5th week of gestation –> nephrogenesis continuous through 32-36 weeks of gestation
metanephros is functional in fetus in (time)
week ten
metanephros is consist by
- ureteric bud
2. metanephric parenchyma (metanephric blastema)
metanephros is consist by …. (developed by)
- ureteric bud –> derived from caudal end of mesonephric duct
- metanephric parenchyma (metanephric blastema) –> condensation of mesoderm within nephrogenic cord
metanephros is consist by …. (gives rises generally)
- ureteric bud –> collecting system
2. metanephric parenchyma (metanephric blastema) –> nephron
ureteric bud gives rise to (explain)
collecting system: it penetrates metanephric mesoderm to form the ureter, pelvises, calyces, collecting ducts
metanephric parenchyma (metanephric blastema) gives rise to (explain) (and time
nephron –> interaction with uteric dud induce differentation and formation of glomerulus through to distal convolutd tubule (DCT)
- ureteric bud is fully canalized at (10th week)
ureteric bud is fully canalized at
10th week
aberant interaction between ureteric bud and metanephric mesoderm may rsult in
several congenital malformations of the kidney
renal - DCT?
distal convolutd tubule
most common cause of renal system obstruction (hydronephrosis) in fetus (and why)
Ureteropelvic juction - last to canalize
Kidney embryology - last to canalize
Ureteropelvic junction
Oligohydramnios is a
condition in pregnancy characterized by a deficiency of amniotic fluid
Potter sequence (syndrome) is the
atypical physical appearance of a fetus or neonate due to oligohydramnios experienced in the uterus
Potter sequence (syndrome) - mechanism and manifestations
Oligohydramnios –> compression of developing fetus (by the uterus) –> limb deformites, facial anomalies, pulmonary hypoplasia
Potter sequence (syndrome) - presentation
- limb deformites
- facial anomalies (low set ears, retrognathia, flattened nose)
- pulmonary hypoplasia
