Urinary Flashcards
Urogenital ridge
Gives rise to the urinary and genital system
Genital ridge -medial
Nephrogenic ridge- lateral, retroperitoneal as body folds
Bulge into the intramembryonic coelom cavity
3 kidney systems
Pronephros
Mesonephros
Metanephros
Pronephros
4 th week, then degenerates Lays foundation for mesophros Non functional Rudimentary No exritory function 7-10 cell group in the cervical region
Mesonephric
4th week til functional at 10th week Segments of intermediate mesoderm Function in excretory Has nephrons And Mesonephric or wolffish duct Drain to cloaca
Ureteric bud and metanephric blastema
Appears at caudal end of Mesonephric duct
Two functional components
Uroteric bud- kidney collecting ducts
Metanephric blastema- kidney nephrons
Also call metanephric diverticulum
Metanephros
Uterine bud will grow into this region of cells
Then call the metanephric blastema
Functional as kidneys around week 12
Fetal urine is important for amniotic fluid
Abnormal kidneys
Pelvic kidney
Caught on artery
Horseshoe kidney
Inferior mesenteric cause kidney fusion
Urorectal septum
Divides cloaca
Urogenital sinus
Anal canal
Urogenital sinus
Vesical part- gives rise to thebladder
Pelvic part
Philip part
Female urethra
Pelvic part gives the full urethra
Phallic part contributes to vestibule of vagina
Male urethra
Pelvic part- prostatic urethra and membranous urethra
Phallic part- penile spongy urethra
Kidney function
Blood ionic composition Blood volume pressure Blood ph Nutrient conservation Hormone secretion Detoxification Elimination of organic waste
Hilum
Opening into the kidneys Into renal sinus Has renal artery vein Nerves Ureters
Kidney structures
Cortex Medulla Pyramids Columns Renal papilla Minor and major calyx Fibrous capsule Renal pelvis
Blood flow
Renal artery Segmental artery Interlobar artery Arcuate artery Interlobular artery Afferent artery Glomerular capillaries Efferent artery Peri tubular capillaries Interlobular veins Arcuate veins Interlobar veins Renal veins
