Q

Uro:

What does pronephros contain?

A

The pronephros contains lots of segmental vesicles and has the pronephric duct that grows caudally toward the cloaca

  • The pronephric duct is in the embryo and thus cannot filter materials outside the embryo.
  • Therefore it is said that the pronephros kidney is non-functional in humans thus it degenerates.

Q

Uro:

What happens to metanephros during the fifth week?

A

the mesonephric duct from the mesonephros kidney develops an outgrowth called the ureteric duct. This duct is close to the attachment of the cloaca.

The ureteric duct eventually forms the ureter, renal pelvis, major calyces, minor calyces and collecting tubules

  • The ureteric bud interacts with a portion of undifferentiated intermediate mesoderm called the metanephric mesenchyme.
  • This interaction induces differentiation and thus the formation of the renal tubules, glomerulus, loops of Henle, and the distal/proximal convoluted tubules
  • If there is an abnormal interaction between the ureteric bud and the metanephric mesenchyme, several congenital malformation of the kidney may result.

Q

Uro:

Outline the embryology of testes

A
  • Between the 3rd month and the end of pregnancy, the testes become transferred from the lumbar area into the future scrotum.
  • This transfer is due to a combination of growth processes and hormonal influences.
  • The gubernaculum testis arises in the course of the 7th week from the lower gubernaculum, after the mesonephros has atrophied. Cranially it has its origin at the testis and inserts in the region of the genital swelling (future scrotum).
  • At the same time, at the inguinal canal along the lower gubernaculum, an evagination of the peritoneum arises, the vaginal process, on which the testes will slide through the inguinal canal.

Uro:

Embryology of the ovaries

A

Mesonephric duct (Wolffian duct) degenerates, small remnants may remain as epoophoron and paroophoron (in the mesentery of the ovary) and Gartner’s cyst’s (near vagina)

  • Paramesonephric duct (Müllerian duct) grows and forms the oviduct (uterine horn) and the end opens into the peritoneal cavity and terminates in fimbria (finger-like extensions extending from the ovary)
  • Away from the ovary, the two paramesonephric ducts fuse in the midline to form the uterus
  • Cortical sex cords form after the primary sex cords degenerate and the mesothelium forms secondary cords
  • The surrounding connective tissue differentiates to form follicle cells.

Q

Uro:

Embryology of the uterus and vagina

A

The entire vagina is formed from the paramesonephric (Müllerian) duct and does not have a contribution from the urogenital endoderm

  • The initially paired ducts fuse in the midline forming the single body of the uterus
  • The ducts remain separate laterally where they form the uterine tubes (Fallopian tubes, uterine horns)
  • The ducts peripheral attachment site to the urogenital sinus wall is described as the Müllerian tubercle
  • The fused ducts also generate the vagina, under the influence of BMP4
  • Oestrogen will also later alter the vaginal epithelium

A

Alveolar stage 32 weeks – 8 years old

56
Q

Resp:

What happens in the Pseudoglandular stage?

A
  • By 16 weeks, all the major elements of the lungs have formed…
  • EXCEPT those involved in gas exchange
  • Therefore, respiration isn’t possible and a fetus born at this stage is unable to survive
57
Q

Resp:

What happens in the Canalicular stage?

A
  • Cranial segments of lungs develop faster than caudal
  • Lumen of bronchi and terminal bronchioles are enlarging
  • Lung tissue becomes vascularised
  • Respiration is possible towards the middle/end of this stage
  • It is possible because of the primordial alveolar sacs & vascularisation
58
Q

Resp:

What happens in the Terminal sac stage?

A
  • More terminal sacs develop (they have a very thin epithelium)
  • Capillaries bulge into developing alveoli and adequate gas exchange can occur if the foetus is born after 26 weeks
  • Lung surfactant starts to be produced
  • Capillary networks proliferate rapidly around the alveoli
59
Q

Resp:

What happens in the Alveolar stage?

A
  • Epithelial lining becomes a thin, squamous epithelial layer (these are type 1 pneumocytes)
  • By the late fetal stage, the lungs are capable of respiration because the alveolar capillary membrane is sufficiently thin enough to allow gas exchange
60
Q

Resp:

What are the key difference between the lungs before and after birth:

A
  • Before birth, the lungs are dependent on the placenta for gas exchange
  • After birth, the lungs must become capable to carry out gas exchange themselves (ie: produce surfactant, good circulation)

  • Little holes allow blood to move from atria to atria via Foramen Primum
  • Little holes become one big hole between atria for continuous blood flow via Foramen Secundum
  • Septum Secundum grows downwards and overlaps Foramen Secundum to form a valve like hole between the atria (Aka Foramen Ovale)
  • Crescenteric muscle forms a median ridge in the floor of the ventricles
  • Myoblasts proliferate and grow upwards to form an interventricular septum

provides enough nutrients to the embryo

100
Q

CVS:

Where does the fetus get its oxygen from before birth?

A

Placenta

101
Q

CVS:

Identify A- F

A

A = placenta

B = Umbilical vein

C = Ductus venosus

102
Q

CVS:

What is the purpose of each of these structures in the fetus?

Placenta

Umbilical vein

Ductus venosus

Foramen Ovale

Ductus arteriosus

Umbilical arteries

A

Left umbilical vein brings oxygenated blood to the fetus

Ductus venosus shunts blood away from the liver to the heart via the IVC

Foramen ovale shunts blood from the right to the left to avoid the pulmonary circulation as it is not needed

Ductus arteriosus shunts any blood from the pulmonary trunk to the arch of the aorta

Umbilical arteries carry deoxygenated blood back to the placenta to be oxygenated again

103
Q

CVS:

What are these embryological structures called in the adult? (there are 5 structures in total)

Left umbilical vein =

Ductus venosus =

Foramen ovale =

Ductus arteriosus =

Umbilical arteries =

A

Left umbilical vein = round ligament of Teres (in falciform ligament)

Ductus venosus = ligamentum venosum

Foramen ovale = fossa ovalis

Ductus arteriosus = ligamentum arteriosum

Umbilical arteries = medial umbilical ligaments

104
Q

CVS:

Which one is fetal haemoglobin and which one is maternal haemoglobin?

A

A = fetal haemoglobin

B = maternal haemoglobin

105
Q

CVS:
Why is there a difference in affinity between the adult haemoglobin and fetal haemoglobin (diagram B)?

A

Maternal blood in the placenta is at a lower pO2 and needs to release oxygen as well as take up CO2 from the fetal blood. The fetus has to be able to uptake oxygen more efficiently and so needs to have a higher affinity in order to do so. If a fetus were to have adult haemoglobin, the respiratory gases would bind equally between the two circulations and the fetus would become hypoxic.

106
Q

CVS:
What is patent Forament Ovale?

A

A patent foramen ovale is a type of atrial septal defect that occurs when the atrial walls between the right and left atria fail to fuse and close the connection between them. This can lead to blood bypassing the right ventricle and escaping into the left atrium without having picked up oxygen in the lungs
