embryology of renal and urinary tract Flashcards
kidneys arise from which germ layer
intermediate mesoderm
3 nephric systems
pronephros
mesonephros
metanephros
what are nephrotomes
they form at the cranial end and are the pronephros that degenerates at day 24/25
what are mesonephric tubules
attached to mesonephric duct at first 3 lumbar levels, and this is the mesonephros
where do the 3 nephric systems form from
nephrogenic ridge
what is Bowmans capsule
a bundle of fenestrated capillaries
renal corpuscle
Bowmans capsule + glomerulus produces ultrafiltrate (amniotic fluid)
what happens to mesonephric duct in females
almost completely regresses
what happens to mesonephric duct in the male
becomes ductus defrans
ureteric bud forms what
collecting system
ureteric bud grows into what
metanephric mesenchyme (derived from intermediate mesoderm)
metanephric mesenchyme sends what signal to ureteric buds and what does it cause
Gdnf causes branching
what transcription factor regulated Gdnf
Pax2
nephrons arise from
renal vesicle
collecting duct comes from what
ureteric bud/stalk
when is the metanephros functional
10 weeks
what performs waste clearance for the fetus
placenta
Ureteric bud becomes
Ureter
Renal pelvis
Major calyx
Minor calyx
Collecting duct
Metanephric mesoderm
Metanephric vesicles
S-shaped renal tubules
become:
Connecting tubule
Distal convoluted tubule
Loop of Henle
Proximal convoluted tubule
Bowman’s capsule
Renal Glomerulus
