Urinary embryology Flashcards
from what part of the mesoderm does the urogenital system come from
the intermediate plate mesoderm
what peritoneal position does the intermediate plate mesoderm take
retropeitoneal
what is allantois
an outpouching of endoderm at the handgun that extends into the body stalk
what is the cloaca
posterior opening for digestive, urinary and reproductive tracts
how does the cloaca divide
anteriorly forms the urogenital sinus
divides to form the rectum (GI tract)
what drains into the urogenital sinus
mesonephric duct
what does the urogenital sinus go on to form
the urinary bladder, caudal end forms the urethra
how many sets o kidneys develop sequentially during nephrogenesis
3
what happens to the intermediate mesoderm in the NECK region in week 4
becomes the pronephros
what is the pronephros
the pronephric duct + rudimentary pronephric tubules
where does the pronephric duct drain to
the cloaca
what happens to the pronephros in week 5
all degenerates EXCEPT the pronephric duct
what happens to the intermediate mesoderm in the TRUNK region in week 4
becomes the mesonephros
what happens to the pronephric duct
becomes the mesonephric duct
what drains into the mesonephric duct
mesonephric tubules
what is the function of the mesonephros
functions as the kidneys for approx. 4 weeks
what are the metanephros
definitive kidneys
when do the metanephros start to develop
week 5
