Pelvic embryology Flashcards
definitive kidney
metanephros
where does pronephros develop
cervical region
where does mesonephros develop
thoracic and lumbar regions
2 parts of metanephros
excretory system, collecting system
collecting system of metanephros develops from
ureteric bud
ureteric bud sprouts from
mesonephric duct
excretory system of metanephros develops from
intermediate mesoderm surrounding ureteric bud forming metanephric blastema
components of collecting system
ureter, renal pelvis, calyces, collecting ducts
components of excretory system
nephrons
glomeruli
capillaries that grow into distal ends of nephrons
nephron
vesicle or tubule that produces urine the process of removing waste from blood
pelvic kidney
doesn’t extend cranially like it should
horseshoe kidney
inferior ends of kidneys fuse and drift up together until stopped by IMA
bifed/double ureter
ureteric bud bifurcates before metanephric blastema forms
ectopic kidney
crosses over to the other side during ascension
thoracic kidney
kidney ascends too far
multiple renal arteries
persistence of accessory renal arteries that usually degenerate
multiple renal arteries can lead to
renal ischemia
when are kidneys functional
12th week
oligohydramnios is a sign of
bilateral renal agenesis
potter sequence
oligohydramnios causing compression on the fetus by the uterus
Ssx of potter sequence
limb deformities, dry/wrinkly skin, facial anomalies, pulmonary hypoplasia
caudal end of hindgut
cloaca
urogenital sinus formation
urorectal septum (mesoderm) divides the hindgut into urogenital sinus and anorectal canal
bladder and urethra are formed from
urogenital sinus
allantois
connects apex of bladder with umbilicus
allantois becomes
urachus
urachus becomes
medial umbilical ligament on posterior aspect of anterior abdominal wall
