Renal Embryo Flashcards
the urogenital system is primarily derived from the
intermediate mesoderm
the urogenital ridge, a longitudinal band of mesoderm on either side of the dorsal aorta, gives rise to the _________ cord, which provides the pronephros, mesonephros, metanephros
nephrogenic cord
pronephric ducts run caudally and open into the _____
cloaca
the pronephros appears early in the ____ week and degenerate by ______ days
4th week
24-25 days
the pronephric ducts persist and are utilized by the ______
mesonephros
mesonephros appears late in the _____ week caudal to the ______
4th week
pronephros
the mesonephric ducts and mesonephric tubules are derivates of the
mesonephros
in mesonephric development, the _____ develop first and induce formation of the _____ from the _______ mesoderm
ducts develop first and induce the tubules from the intermediate mesoderm
renal corpuscles are formed from the ________ tubules
mesonephric tubules
medial end forms glomerular capsule
wraps around a glomerulus
mesonephros is actively making urine during weeks
6-10
after 10, stops functioning and regresses in females
becomes efferent ductules in males
the metanephros arises during the ____ week
5th
the metanephros is made up of two parts
ureteric bud from mesonephric duct
metanphric blastema from nephrogenic cord
the metanephros is functional by
9th/10th week
metanephros is important in production of
amniotic fluid
the ureteric bud elongates and penetrates the ______ to form the renal pelvis
penetrates the blastema
the stalk of the ureteric bud becomes the ______
ureter
the cranial part of the ureter bud as it penetrates the blastema becomes the
collecting tubules 1st generation (four) branches = major calices 2nd generation (four) branches = minor calices
