tetralogy of Fallot

cause: early splitting of ureteric bud
complete: 2 ureters to one kidney
partial: 2 ureters @ kidney that later merge

ectopic ureteral: one normal, second has abnormal openings to vagina, bladder, and/or urethra

371
Q

A

aka metanephric blastema

derived form caudal part of nephrogenic cord

383
Q

metanephric diverticulum

A

aka ureteric bud

finish as retroperitoneal

386
Q

pelvic kidney

A

when kidney fails to relocate/ascend

387
Q

urorectal septum

A

mesodermal layer

divides cloaca (endoderm) during W4-W7

tip forms perineal body

388
Q

urogenital sinus

A

derived from cloaca

divides into 3 parts:

upper: forms bladder & continuous w/allantois
middle: narrow, male: prostatic & membranous urethra, female: entire urethra
caudal: males: phallic urethra & degenerates in females

389
