embryology - urinary and repro system development Flashcards
what forms the kidneys, ureter and gonads
intermediate mesoderm
what di the kidney and ureter develop from
urogenital ridge
how does the urogenital ridge form the kidney and ureter
differentiates into gonadal ridge
gives rise to gonad and nephrogenic cord laterally - this forms the kidney and ureter
where does the kidney develop
pelvis
ascends to abdomen by week 12
what does the cloaca give rise to
urogenital sinus which develops bladder and urethra and some parts of male/female reproductive tract
what is the nephrogenic cord
part of the urogenital ridge
what are the three stages of development of the nephrogenic cord
pronephros
mesonephros
metanephros - final kidney
where does the metanephros drain
nephritic duct then cloaca
what is the cloaca
caudal end of enfolded yolk sac
what is the cloacal membrane formed by
ectoderm and endoderm
what is the urorectal septum and what does it do
septum that divides cloaca into the urogenital sinus and anal canal
what does the urogenital sinus form
bladder and urethra
where do primordial germ cells originate
endoderm lining of yolk sac in hind gut at 6 weeks gestation
migrate to gonads
what forms the primitive sex cords
epithelium of gonadal ridge
what is the indifferent gonad
develops in gonadal ridge
made of a combination of germ cells and primitive sex cord cells
can develop into testes or ovaries
what are primitive sex cords
elongated projections that form from the gonadal ridge
