Q

What is the function of the ureteric bud?

A

Induces development of definitive kidney within intermediate mesoderm of the caudal region of the embryo
Collecting system is derived from ureteric bud itself

Q

How does the ureteric bud form the definitive kidney?

A

Ureteric bud contacts metanephric blastema

Bud expands and branches forming renal pelvis, major calyx and minor calyx

Q

Describe what occurs during the ascent of the kidney

A

Metanephric kidney first appears in pelvic region
Undergoes caudal to cranial shift, crossing arterial fork formed by vessels returning blood from foetus to placenta
As kidneys ascend, new blood vessels form and old ones regress

Q

What can occur when kidney formation goes wrong?

A 
Ureteric bud fails to interact with intermediate mesoderm- renal agenesis
Migration goes awry
Wilm's tumour
Duplication defects
Ectopic ureter
Cystic disease

Q

How do duplication defects occur?

A

Splitting of ureteric bud- can be partial or incomplete

Symptomatic consequence is ectopic urethral opening

19
Q

What are the 3 types of cystic kidney disease and their characteristics?

A

Multicystic kidney disease- atresia of ureter

Polycystic kidney disease- recessive, presents early, poor prognosis

20
Q

What is the cloaca?

A

The structure where the GI, urinary and reproductive tracts end

21
Q

What is the urogenital sinus?

A

Created from hindgut by urogenital septum to separate anus and urogenital system
Continuous with umbilicus

22
Q

What are the 3 parts of the urogenital sinus and what will they become?

A

Largest part = future bladder

Pelvic and phallic parts = parts of future urethra

23
Q

How is the prostate and prostatic urethra formed in males?

A

Mesonephric ducts reach urogenital sinus
Ureteric bud sprouts from mesonephric ducts
Smooth musculature begins to appear, UGS begins to expand
Ureteric buds and mesonephric ducts make independant openings in UGS

24
Q

How does the development of the urinary system differ in females?

A

As UGS begins to expand, MD begin to regress

MD regress completely- ureteric bud opens into UGS

25
Q

What is the female urethra formed by?

A

Pelvic part of urogenital sinus

26
Q

What are the 4 parts of the male urethra and which part of UGS?

A

Pelvic part- proprostatic, prostatic, membranous

Phallic part- spongy

27
Q

What are the basic components of external genitalia?

A

Genital tubercle
Genital folds
Genital swellings

28
Q

How do the genitals form in males?

A

Genital tubercle elongates and genital folds fuse to form spongy urethra

29
Q

How do the genitals form in the female?

A

No fusion occurs and urethra opens into the vestibule

30
Q

What can happen when formation of genitals goes wrong?

A

Fistulae
Exstrophy of the bladder- bladder opens onto abdominal wall
Ectopic urethral orifices

31
Q

What is hypospadia?

A

Defect in fusion of urethral folds

Urethra opens onto ventral surface- not end of the glans

32
Q

What does the renal corpuscle consist of?

A

Glomerulus and bowmans capsule

33
Q

What are the 2 poles of the renal corpuscle?

A

Vascular pole- Afferent and efferent arterioles (glomerulus)

Urinary pole- Bowmans capsule

34
Q

What is the function of the renal corpuscle and how does it achieve this?

A

To produce ultrafiltrate of plasma

Filtration barrier produced by capillary endothelium and visceral layer of bowmans capsule

35
Q

Describe the structure of the renal corpuscle

A

Parietal layer of Bowmans capsule = simple squamous epithelium
Visceral layer wraps around capillary endothelium and parietal layer makes funnel to collect ultrafiltrate

36
Q

Describe the filtration barrier

A

Capillary endothelium is fenestrated and podocytes invest making filtration slits
Endothelium and podocytes share basement membrane

37
Q

Describe the basic structure and function of the PCT (epithelium)

A

Longest most convoluted section of tubule
Reabsorption begins
Simple cuboidal epithelium with pronounced brush border and contain mitochondria

38
Q

What are the 4 parts of the loop of Henle?

A

Pars recta
Thin descending limb
Thin ascending limb
Thick ascending limb

39
Q

Describe the structure of the thin limb

A

Simple squamous epithelium
No brush border
No active transport

40
Q

Describe the structure of the thick limb

A

Simple cuboidal epithelium
No brush border
Active transport

41
Q

What is the differences between DCT and PCT?

A

DCT=no brush border and larger lumen

Both contain mitochondria

42
Q

What does the juxtaglomerular apparatus consist of?

A

Macula densa of DCT
Juxtaglomerular cells of afferent arteriole of glomerulus
Extraglomerular mesangial cells

43
Q

Describe the appearance of the collecting duct

A

Connects to DCT via collecting tubule

Similar appearance to thick limb of loop of Henle but larger and more irregular lumen

44
Q

What is the renal pyramid?

A

Progressively larger ducts formed by merging of collecting ducts that empty at renal papilla

45
Q

Describe the structure of the ureter

A

Muscular tube- 2 layers of smooth muscle (3rd layer in lower 3rd of ureter)
Lined by transitional epithelium

46
Q

Describe the structure of the bladder

A

3 layers of muscle
Outer adventitia
Transitional epithelium

47
Q

How is urothelium (transitional epithelium) impermeable?

A

‘Umbrella cells’ on the surface layer
