Lecture 2 Flashcards
What cells give rise to urogenital system, which creates our kidneys and genitelia,
Intermediate mesoderm.
What does the urogenital ridge consist of?
- Gonadal ridge–> where testes and ovaries form
- Nephrogenic cord–> makes nephron and duct collecting system
What does the mesonephric tubule give rise to?
Nephron
What are the three different kidneys that are produced during the production of the kidneys?
1st : Prenephros (non functional)
2nd: Mesonephros (functional)
3rd: Metanephros (true)
How big are the kidneys in the emrbyo?
they run the length of the embryo
1. Pronephros
A. When does it form and generate?
B. Where does it form?
C. What does it form?
A. Forms–> 4th week
- Degenerates –> late 4th week.
B. Forms in cervical region
C. Forms the pronephric duct (which, extends to the cloaca) and the pronephric tubule.
2. Mesonephros
A. When does it form and when is it remodeled?
B. Where does it form?
C. What does it form?
A. Forms late 4th week and remains functional until the 11th week. Then, it is remodeled into genetilia for M and degenerates in F.
B. Cervical region
C.
- Pronephric duct–>mesonephric duct, which extends to the cloacha.
- Pronephric tubules degenerate and the mesonephric tubules form on the mesonephric duct, filtrating urine into the duct–> cloacha.
3. Metanephros
A. When does it form and degenerate?
B. Where does it form?
C. What does it form?
A. Begins to develop in the 5th week and it remains functional forever.
B. Metanephros has 2 components that grow in the pelvis
- Uteric bud,
- Metanephrogenic blastema
What are other names for the uteric bud?
1. Metanephric duct
2. Metanephric diverticulum
What are other names for the metanephrogenic blastema?
1. Metanephrogenic mass
2, Metanephrogenic cap
Nephrons are the functional unit of the kidney that consists of what?
- Glomerular capillaries, which came from the dorsal arota
- BC. which came from intermediate mesoderm
- Mesonephric tubules, which came from intermediate mesoderm
The nephron of mesonephros is the functional unit which consists of the glomeruli (from the dorsal aorta), bowmans capsule and mesonephric tubules which are from intermediate mesoderm.
The mesonephric duct does what?
- Induces nephrons in the adjacent nephrogenic cord.
- Mesonephric duct sends signals to the nephrogenic cord to form mesonephric vesicles.
A. Nephrogenic cord then send recipricol feedback to the duct.
–>B. Mesonephric vesicle elongatest to form a mesonephric tubule
–> C. Mesonephric tubule meets with the mesonephric duct
–> D. Mesonephric tubule continues to elongates and will will also surround the glomerulus, eventually forming the glomerular capsule.
—This creates and open system made up of: glomerular capsule + collecting system (mesonephric tubule) + mesonephric duct, allowing us to concentrate urine–> collect–> send to cloacha—-
When the glomerular capsule is forms when…
The mesonephric tubule has fully merged with the mesonephric duct,
forming an open-system to concentrate urine, collect and send to cloacha.
As we have said, the
metanephros = [uteric bud (metanephric duct) & metanephric blastema]
What are these two derived from?
Uretic bud (metanephric duct) and the metanephric blastema form in the pelvis.
Uteric bud–> grows from the mesonephric duct
Metanephric blastema–> derived from the nephrogenic cord
In the development of the metanephros (true kidney),
how do the ureteric bud and metanephric blastema interact?
Uretic bud will grow towards the metanephric blastema, forming the tubules of the kidney.
-formation of the tubules is controlled via recipricol feedback.
The ureteric bud gives rise to what from intermediate mesoderm? (5)
- ureter
- pelvis
- major calyces
- minor calyces
- collecting tubules
The metanephric blastema which is from the nephrogenic cord (intermediate mesoderm) forms what structures? (5)
- Renal vesicles
- bowman’s capsules
- proximal/distal convoluted tubules
- loop of henle
How do we develop the collecting system of the kidney?
- Uteric bud contacts metanephric blastema, creating the renal pelvis.
- Uteric bifurcates and the branches coalesce to form major calyces.
- 2nd generation of branching and coalesce occur again to form minor calyces.
- Branching and coalescing continue, to make the collecting ducts.
Now that the collecting ducts of the metanephros are made,
we need to make the nephrons. What do they originate as?
Nephrons orginate as a nephric vesicle, located wiithin the blastemic cap that surrounds the ampulla of the collecting duct.
How are the nephrons of the metanephros made?
- Collecting ducts will send signals to the metnephrogenic blastema to induce the formation of the nephric vesicle.
- NV elongates and then surrounds around the glomerulus, forming the bowmans capsule.
- Proximal end connect to the collecting duct forms the
- Proximal convulted tubule
- LoH
- Distal convoluted tubule
