Final Exam Sf2 Flashcards
Urogenital derives from
Intermediate mesoderm
Stages of kidney development
Pronephros- most immature form
Mesonephros- responsible of forming ducts
Metanephros- most mature form, adult
Metanephros
Derived from caudal part of intermediate mesoderm
From renal blastema
Collecting system
Excretion system- renal vesicles to nephrons
Cloaca/urorectal septum
Divides into dorsal and ventral
Dorsal- anorectal duct
Ventral- urogenital sinus
Urogenital sinus
Vesicourethral duct-urinary bladder
Definitive urogenital sinus-urethra+prostate in male, urethra+caudal vagina+vaginal vestibule in females
Kidney excretory system
Filters 2-300 liters /day
Reabsorbs, leaving 1-2 liters of urine/day
Maintains homeostasis by reabsorbtion
Endocrine excretion of renin+erythropoeitin
Shape and borders of kidney
Bean-like
Lateral border-convex
Medial border-concave
Renal hilum/hilus- medial, all vessels come in/out
Urether caudal direction
Retroperitoneal space, no visceral peritoneum
Structure of kidney
Renal cortex- lighter color, outermost
Renal medulla=innermost, darker color,renal pyramids
Renal lobule
Renal cortex+renal pyramid
Renal papilla
Apex of renal pyramids
Renal sinus
Medial portion of kidney
Space that Contains vessels and urether
Renal pelvis
Inside renal sinus
Wider proximal portion of ureter
Compound kidney
Independent lobules
No fusion of renal cortex
No renal pelvis
In marine/primitive animals
Lobulated kidneys
Partial diffusion of renal cortex
No renal pelvis
Always multilobar
Large ruminants/ox
Smooth kidneys
Have pelvis
Fusion of renal cortex
Multilobar/multipapillar smooth kidney
Individual renal pyramids
In pig and human
Unilobal/unipapillary smooth kidney
No individual real pyramids
Renal crest surrounds pelvis
Carnivores, small ruminants, equines
Renal corpuscle
Glomerulus
Bowman’s capsule
Renal tubules
PCT
Loop of Henley
DCT
Kidney vascularization
Renal artery- from abdominal aorta Arcuate arteries Interlobar arteries Afferent and efferent glomerular arteries Renal vein drains into caudal vena cava
Kidney innervation
Sympathetic innervation- celiac and cranial mesenteric plexus
Parasympathetic innervation- vagus N
Ligaments of urinary bladder
Ventral/medial ligaments
Lateral ligaments
Round ligament
Ventral/medial ligament of urinary bladder
Fix ventral surface to floor of abd.cavity/alba line
Lateral ligament of urinary bladder
Fix bladder laterally to pelvic wall
Round ligament of urinary bladder
Fix apex to umbillicus
