Urinary System Dr. Yan Flashcards
Where does the urinary system originate from?
intermediate mesoderm
What are the three successive kidneys?
pronephros
mesonephros
metanephros
Where does the pronephros come from and is it functional?
cervical region, non functional
How long does the pronephros exist for?
only during week 4
When does the mesonephros appear and disappear?
appears at week 4 and disappears at end of 2 months (except for mesonephric duct in males)
Where does the mesonephros com form?
thoracolumbar
When does the metanephros appear?
week 5
which kidney is the definitive kidney?
metanephros
Which kidney is the inducer?
mesonephros
Where does the mesonephros kidney originate from?
intermediate mesoderm
Describe the process occurring at week 4 starting with the excretory tubule?
excretory tubule-> glomerulus and bowman’s corpuscle= renal corpuscle-> mesonephric (Wolffian) duct
What does the renal corpuscle turn into during week 4?
mesonephric duct
What does the urogential ridge begin to turn into at the 2nd month?
gonads
By the end of the 2nd month, (blank) in the males go to ejaculatory duct and females disappear
mesonephric ducts
Is the second kidney functional?
yes
When does the metanephros (definitive kidney) appear?
week 5
Ureteric bud outgrown from the mesonephric duct penetrate metanephric tissue and induces (blank)
metanephric blastema (from intermediate mesoderm).
the ureteric bud continues to divide to form what?
ureter, renal pelvis, major and minor calyces, and collecting tubules
when do you get the creation of the ureter and renal pelvis?
6th week
When do you get the creation of the minor and major calyxes?
7th week
When do you get the creation of the collecting tubules?
newborn
What make the renal pyramids?
collecting tubules
What is formed by the metanephric mesoderm induced by ureteric bud?
filtration system
What is the filtration system formed by?
metanephric mesoderm induced by uretic bud
Describe the formation of the filtration system?
metanephric tissue cap-> renal vesicles-> s-shaped tubule-> capillaries grow into-> glomeruli
What is the excretory unit?
nephron
What creates the metanephric tissue caps?
the endothelium secretes signals to induce formation of the mesenchymal cells to turn into metanephric tissue caps
kidney development is dependent upon (blank).
epithelial mesenchymal interactions
