Embryology of the kidneys, ureters and bladder Flashcards
what germ layers are the structures of the renal system derived from?
mesoderm
endoderm
shared embryological origin with reproductive system
what are the layers of the mesoderm?
paraxial mesoderm
intermediate mesoderm
lateral plate mesoderm
what are the parts of the lateral plate mesoderm?
somatic and splanchnic mesoderm
somatic mesoderm
contributes to abdominal body and cavity and cavity walls
lines each inner surface
splanchnic mesoderm
forms structures of abdominal viscera
lines outer surface
where does the uterine tube come from?
mesoderm
where does the uterus and uterine canal come from?
mesoderm
where does the vagina come from?
mesoderm and endoderm
where does the urethra come from?
endoderm
where does the external genitalia come from?
endoderm
what makes up the renal collecting ductal system?
ureters renal pelvis major calyces minor calyces collecting tubules
what makes up the renal excretory ductal system?
nephron
- renal corpuscle - glomerulus and bowman’s capsule
proximal and distal convoluted tubule
loop of henle
where do the renal tubules and ureters come from?
mesonephric system from mesoderm
where does the bladder and urethra come from?
cloaca of endoderm
what is the cloaca?
part of the distal portion of the embryonic hindgut
what does the mesonephric system give rise to?
renal tubules ureter reproductive ductal system uterine canal vagina
what does the cloaca give rise to?
urinary bladder
urethra
vagina
external genitalia
Haeckel’s biogenetic law
ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny
our developmental processes tend to remember and repeat our evolutionary history
seen in the development of urinary system
origin of development of urinary system
pronephros
what is pronephros
functional kidney in primitive fish
forms mesonephros
mesonephros
functional kidney in advanced fish
forms metanephros
metanephros
functional kidney in human
development of pronephros
from intermediate mesoderm
appears at beginning of 4th week, regresses by the end of 4th week
development of mesonephros
derived from intermediate mesoderm
gives rise to mesonephric ducts
what do mesonephric ducts form?
forms primitive excretory tubules and the primitive bowman’s capsule and primitive renal corpuscle that drain into mesonephric ducts
gives rise to ureteric buds
urogenital ridge
formed by mesonephros and gonads
