Q

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?

A

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

A

1.5 - 4 million

37
Q

Why are there variations in macroscopic appearance of kidneys in different species?

A

Differences in interactions between metanephrogenic mass and metanephric diverticulum.

38
Q

What 2 things give rise to the urinary bladder?

Q

What are the 6 steps to duct incorporation/reorganization?

A
