Urinary System(handout based) Flashcards
Longitudinal elevation of mesoderm
Urogenital ridge
When does the development of urinary system begins?
- before genital system
- 4th week
- intermediate mesoderm
What forms the urinary system?
Nephrogenic cord/ridge
What forms the genital system?
Genital/gonadal ridge
Urinary system consists of
Kidney,Ureter,Bladder,Urethra
What are the three sets of excretory organs in embryo?
Pronephros,Mesonephros,Metanephros
Composed of seven to ten solid cell groups in cervical region.
Pronephros
What week does Pronephros develop? Does it degenerate?
Early in the 4th week
Pronephric ducts run _______ and open into the _________.
Caudally, cloaca
What week does Mesonephros develop? Does it regenerate?
End of 4th week, NO! Degenerates
In mesonephros, tubules open into the _______ to ________.
Mesonephric duct, cloaca
Mesonephric ducts turns into
Ducts of testis
Permanent kidney. In what week? When does it function?
Metanephros, 5th week, 9th week
Where do kidney and ureter originates?
Mesodermal
What sources did the kidney and ureter develop from?
- metanephric mass of intermediate mesoderm( metanephric blastoma)
- ureteric bud/metanephric diverticulum
Metanephric blastema forms what?
Nephron: Bowman’s capsule, PCT, Loop of Henle & DCT
Ureteric Bud forms what?
Stalk-ureter: renal pelvis, major & minor calyces, collecting tubules(1-3million)
Formation of bladder and urethra occurs when?
4th-7th week of development
In the formation of bladder, what divides the cloaca?
Urorectal septum
In the formation of urinary bladder and urethra, the cloaca is composed of?
Anorectal canal & Primitive urogenital sinus
Upper Urinary bladder originates from?
Urogenital sinus
Pelvic part of the Primitive UG sinus forms what?
Male: prostatic & membranous urethra
Female: urethra
Phallic part of the Primitive UG sinus forms what?
Male: penile urethra
Female: urethra
Congenital anomalies
Congenital cystic kidneys,renal agenesis,double & ectopic ureter,pelvic kidney,horseshoe kidney,urachal fistula,cyst & sinus
Regulation of body fluid and constancy of the internal environment
Kidney
Each kidney lobe consists of
Medullary pyramid & its associated cortex
Renal pyramids are separated by
Renal columns of of Bertini
A portion of the kidney containing those nephrons that are served by a common collecting duct
Renal lobule
The human kidney has about 4 million filtering units(functional unit of the kidney) called as
Nephron
The nephron consists of four parts
Renal corpuscle, PCT, thin & thick limbs of Henle and DCT
Capillary loops surrounded by an epithelial cover
Renal corpuscle
Surrounding capillaries of the renal glomerulus
Podocytes (bowman’s visceral epithelial cells)
What are the two branching of the podocyte processes?
Primary process & secondary process(pedicels)
Small spaces between adjacent processes are called
Filtration slits
Functional morphology of renal corpuscle has how many filtration barrier?
Three
