Q

What part of the urogenital sinus forms the bladder?

A

Vesicle part

17
Q

The urogenital sinus is continuous with what?

A

The allantois

18
Q

What does the allantois form?

A

Urachus, that later becomes the median umbilical ligament

19
Q

The medial umbilical ligament is a remnant from what embryonic structure?

20
Q

The pelvic (middle) part of the urogenital sinus gives rise to what?

A

Bladder neck and prostatic urethra in the male, and the entire urethra in the female

21
Q

The trigone of the bladder is formed by tissue from what?

A

The mesonephric duct

22
Q

Epithelium o the entire bladder is derived from what?

A

Endoderm of the urogenital sinus

23
Q

Connective tissue and smooth muscle of the urinary bladder is derived from what?

A

Splanchnic (visceral) mesenchyme (mesoderm)

24
Q

Connective tissue and smooth muscle from the urethra is derived from what?

A

Splanchnic (visceral) mesenchyme (mesoderm)

25
Exstrophy of the bladder is attributed to what?
Lack of anterior wall mesoderm; due to failure of mesenchymal cells to migrate between the ectoderm of the abdomen and cloaca during the 4th week
26
Megacystis or megalocystis may result from the presence of what?
Posterior urethral valves (block the outflow of urine from the urinary bladder in the male only)
27
The adrenal cortex develops from what?
Cranial part of urogenital ridge (intermediate mesoderm)
28
What gives rise to the adrenal medulla?
Neural crest cells derived from neuroectoderm migrate and give rise to the adrenal medulla
29
What cells are found in the adrenal medulla?
Chromaffin cells
30
Chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla are innervated by what?
Preganglionic nerve fibers
31
Adrenogenital syndrome usually results from mutations in what gene?
P450c21 - steroid 21-hydroxylase gene (CYP21A2)
32
Adrenogenital syndrome is a group of disorders that manifest in various clinical forms and result in virilization of female babies. It follows what type of inheritance pattern?
Autosomal recessive
