Severson: Normal and Abnormal Renal Development Flashcards
What gives rise to the UROGENITAL system (ridge)?
intermediate mesoderm
What gives rise to the URINARY system?
nephrogeneic cord/ridge
What gives rise to the GENITAL system?
gonadal/genital ridge
What are the developmental phases of the urinary system?
- Pronephric phase (FOREkidney)
- Mesonephric phase (MIDkidney)
- Metanephric phase (HINDkidney)
What gives rise to the PRONEPHRIC DUCT and grows caudally to open into the CLOACA?
Pronephros
What happens during the mesonephric phase?
PRNEPHRIC DUCT becomes the MESONEPHRIC (WOLFFIAN) DUCT
What gives rise to the MESONEPHRIC TUBULES?
mesonephros
What do the MESONEPHRIC TUBULES become?
efferent ducutles of hte male testis
What does the mesonephric duct become in the male?
ductus deferens
What does the mesonephric duct become in BOTH males and females?
ureteric bud
What does the ureteric bud grow into and eventually form?
The ureteric bud grows into the INTERMEDIATE MESODERM and initiates formation of the DEFINITIVE KIDNEY (aka the METANEPHROS)
What gives rise to the ureter, renal pelvis, major and minor calyces and collecting ducts?
ureteric bud
What does a nephron (metanephric tubule) consist of?
renal capsule, proximal tubule, loop of henle and distal tubule
What part of the mesoderm does the nephron arise form? What is it induced by?
INTERMEDIATE
arched collecting duct
What forms the glomerulus?
ENDOTHELIAL CELLS growing into the renal capsule
What do the uriniferous tubules consist of?
nephrons and collecting ducts (develop from different sources!)
Describe the location of the metanephric kidneys.
Initially located deep in the PELVIC REGION but migrate to the ABDOMINAL REGION
What causes the migration of the metanephric kidneys?
rapid growth of hte CAUDAL EMBRYO that gives the kidney an appearance of “ascent”
Why is it possible that more than one renal artery may be present in the metanephric kidney?
the adult kidney consists of five vascular lobes that are originally supplied by segmental vessels
What causes renal agenesis?
failure of URETERIC BUD and METANEPHRIC MESODERM to interact
Who does renal agenesis usually affect?
UNILATERAL on the LEFT
1/1000 M
What should be suspected in infants w/ SINGLE UMBILICAL ARTERY?
renal agenesis
