Q

Know that nephrons and collecting ducts develop from different sources

A

Collecting tubes = metanephric diverticulum

Neprons = metanephric tubules

Q

What is the original supply to the metanephric kidney?

A

The common iliac…then the body grows caudally and the kidneys “rise”

Q

What causes a pelvic kidney?

A

Metanephric kidney fails to migrate from pelvis

Metanephric mesoderm fused to form one kidney

19
Q

What is it called when one kidney crosses over? and fuses to the other kidney? and the arteries are on the medial side?

A

Crossed ectopic kidney
Fused kidney
Non-rotation

(all three can happen simultaneously)

20
Q

Where do horseshoe kidneys get stuck during ascension?

21
Q

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PCKD)…remember it

A

It’s not hard

22
Q

What is seen with multicystic dysplastic kidney disease?

A

Abnormal dilations of [thin segments] of nephrons

23
Q

What typically causes a congenital hydroureter? Is it generally bad?

A

An obstruction of the ureter at the ureteropelvic junction (usually)

Not usually bad…hydronephrosis results

24
Q

What is the urogenital sinus continuous with?

A

The allantois…which extends into the body stalk (umbilical cord)

25
What does the allantois form?
The urachus (becomes the median umbilical ligament)
26
What does the vesicle part of the urogenital sinus form?
The urinary bladder (continuous with the allantois)
27
What does the pelvic part of the urogenital sinus become in males?
The bladder neck and prostatic urethra (endoderm)
28
What does the pelvic part of the urogenital sinus become in females?
The entire urethra
29
What does the rest of the urethra grow from in males?
The penile urethra grows from the phallic part of the urogenital sinus (ectoderm)
30
What gets incorporated into the posterior wall of the developing urinary bladder?
Mesonephric ducts and ureteric bud
31
The connective tissue and smooth muscle of the urinary bladder and urethra are derived from what?
Splanchnic (visceral) mesenchyme (mesoderm)
32
What forms urchal cysts?
Epithelial cells that do not degenerate
33
What is it called when the urachus drains via the umbilicus?
Urachal sinus
34
What causes a urachal fistula?
Patent urachus...urine dribbles from urachus
35
What causes megacystis or megalcystis?
Posterior urethral valves that block the outflow of urine from the bladder (only in males)
36
What is a possible result of megacystis or megalocystis?
End-stage renal failure (20% of all ESRF d/t megacystis or megalocystis)
37
What does the cranial part of the urogenital ridge give rise to?
Adrenocortical primordia
38
What do mesothelial cells located on the posterior abdominal wall b/w the root of the dorsal mesentery and the developing gonad become?
Adrenal cortex
39
What accounts for the large size of the fetal adrenal gland? what happens to during the first year?
Fetal cortex is big, but it regresses during the first year
40
What replaces the fetal cortex?
Permanent cortex (from mesenchymal cells)
41
What does the adrenal medulla develop from?
Neural crest cells (neuroectoderm)
42
What happens with adrenogenital syndrome?
Mutation in P450c21 (steroid 21-hydroxylase gene)
43
What happens due to reduced steroid hormone production with adrenogenital syndrome? What is the net result?
Increased ACTH causes adrenal hyperplasia causing overproduction of androgens
