Q

arched collecting tubules induce cells of the metanephrogenic blastema to form ________ _________

A

metanephric vesicles that elongate to form metanephric tubules

19
Q

metanephric tubules give rise to ______ at their proximal end and ____, ____, and ____ at their distal end

A

glomerular capsule at proximal end

PCT, DCT, and nephron loop

20
Q

Each DCT contacts a _______ to finish the loop and complete nephrogenesis

A

arched collecting tubule

21
Q

permanent kidneys initially lie within the pelvis but through development ______ in the abdomen

A

ascend

22
Q

hilum of the kidney rotates _____ degrees medially by the 9th week

A

90 degrees medially

23
Q

first renal arteries arise from the _______ ______, but definitive renal arteries typically come from the ______ ______

A

common iliacs first
–> involute
abdominal aorta

24
Q

unilateral renal agenesis

A

missing kidneys on one side
more common in males
typically asymptomatic
suspected in infants with 1 umbilical artery

25
Q

bilateral renal agenesis

A

missing both ya kidneys
associated with oligohydramnios
nonviable - pulmonary hypoplasia - reduced amniotic fluid = poor lung development
potter syndrome (20%) - phenotypic facial malformation, clubbed legs from lack of amniotic fluid
no communication from ureteric bud and blastema

26
Q

incomplete division of the kidney results in _____ kidney and _____ ureter

A

divided kidney and bifid ureter

27
Q

complete division of the kidney results in ______ kidney and _____ ureter

A

double kidney and bifid/separate ureters

28
Q

horseshoe kidney results from

A

fusion of inferior poles - caudal part of kidney
asymptomatic
ascent prevented by the inferior mesenteric artery

29
Q

bladder forms from the ______, a portion of the _______ (endoderm)

A

urogenital sinus, a portion of the cloaca

30
Q

urogenital sinus is critical for bladder development and consists of three parts

A

ventral part - most of urinary bladder
PElvic part - neck of bladder, (m = prostatic urethra, f = urethra)
Phallic part - m = spongy urethra, f = lining of vaginal vestibule

31
Q

between weeks ____ and ____, the mesonephric ducts is incorporated into the posterior wall of the bladder

A

4 - 6

32
Q

mesonephric ducts grow inferior along the posterior wall of the bladder while the ureteric buds remain high on the bladder to form the

A

trigone

33
Q

trigone is made up of

A

mesonephric duct derivative and ureter dervative

34
Q

mesonephric ducts _____ while ureter openings stay separate in the trigone

A

mesonephric ducts fuse

35
Q

bladder develops primarily from

A

vesical part of urogenital sinus

36
Q

bladder is continuous with the ____ (constricts and forms the urachus)

A

allantois

37
Q

contributions to the bladder
Epithelium is formed from ______
Submucosa and muscularis is derived from _______ ______
Trigone is made up of _________ ______

A

epithelium = endoderm (urogenital sinus)
Submucosa and muscularis = splanchnic mesoderm
Trigone = intermediate mesoderm

38
Q

exstrophy of the bladder occurs as a result of _____ body folding and is characterized as

A
body folding (4 weeks) 
Defective closure of the ventral abdominal wall exposes mucosa of the posterior wall of bladder
39
Q

epispadias are abnormalities in

A

the positioning of the urethra on the penis

normally on the ventral side of genital tubercle, in epispadias occurs on the ventral side

40
Q

urachal cysts are remnants of the epithelial lining that can

A
