Exam 2 - Lecture 30 (Urogenital System) Flashcards
What is a patent ductus arteriosus?
What happens if the DA doesn’t shut down properly
What is aortic coarctation?
Constriction of aorta
How do vascular ring anomalies happen?
If aortic arches do not degenerate properly
What are the 2 types of vascular ring anomalies that can occur?
- R 4th aortic arch –> adult aortic arch + R 6th aortic arch –> ductus arteriosus
- R 4th aortic arch –> adult aortic arch + L 6th aortic arch –> ductus arteriosus
Which vascular ring anomaly results in a normal animal with situs inversus?
R 4th arch –> adult aortic arch
R 6th arch –> ductus arteriosus
What happens in the vascular ring anomaly that results in an abnormal animal? At what point in the animal’s life does this begin to cause problems?
Ductus arteriosus degenerates into the ligamentum arteriosum which forms a ring around the esophagus and trachea;
Causes problems when the animal is weaned bc liquid diet can pass thru the ring but solids cannot
What are the 3 attempts of the body to make a kidney? Which one becomes the adult kidney?
- Pronephros
- Mesonephros
- Metanephros (becomes adult)
What two attempts of kidney formation are still retained in the adult kidney?
Pronephros and mesonephros
What two structures give rise to the urogenital ridge?
- Intermediate mesoderm
2. Coelomic mesothelium
Where are the urogenital ridges found?
Dorsal part of the embryologic coelom
Which is the most cranial, intermediate, and most caudal attempt at kidney formation?
Most cranial = pronephros
Intermediate = mesonephros
Most caudal = metanephros
What structures is the pronephros ventral to?
cervical somites
At what body level is the pronephric kidney developing?
Embryologic neck
What does the pronephric tubule look like?
primitive nephron (C-shaped with capillaries and large tubule coming off of one end)
Is the pronephric kidney functional?
No
What does the pronephric tubule connect to?
pronephric duct
What does the pronephric duct become/what is it retained as?
mesonephric duct
How many tubules does the pronephric kidney have?
7-8
How many tubules does the mesonephric kidney have?
70-80
What do mesonephric tubules look like?
Like pronephric tubules; glomerulus at one end, mesonephric duct at the other end
When does the mesonephric kidney begin to degenerate?
Once it reaches its maximum size
Which way does the mesonephric kidney degenerate?
Cranial –> caudal
What do the remnants of the mesonephric kidney give rise to?
Ovaries and testicles
In MALES, what 3 things do the caudal mesonephric tubules and duct give rise to?
- Testicular channels
- Epididymis
- Ductus deferens
What two structures give rise to the metanephric kidney?
- Metanephric diverticulum
2. Metanephrogenic mass
What are the 2 steps in the formation of the metanephric kidney?
- Metanephric diverticulum invades surrounding mesoderm from the mesonephric duct
- Surrounding mesoderm differentiates into the metanephrogenic mass
Off of where does the metanephric diverticulum branch?
mesonephric duct
