Urogenital Flashcards
get rid of nitrogenous waste
maintain ion balance
get rid of toxic materials and excess nutrients
maintain water
Urinary system
outside
cortex
inside
medulla
Nephrotomes grow into
renal capsule
Successive neprotomes form
nephric duct
nephrotomes=
uriniferous tubule
tubules combine and form
pronephric duct
tubulues that form anteriorly first
Pronephros
tubules form in middle section
Mesonephros
Mesonephric duct=
Wolffian duct
uretic diverticulum at base of mesonephric duct
metanephoros
pronephros with no glomerulw anteriorly but connection to coelom
juvenile
have glomeruli posteriorly but no connection to coelom
hagfish
functional adult kidney
Mesonephros
pronephros with 8 tubules serviced by glomus
lamprey larva
meso and metanephris tubules develop in adult
lamprey
pronephros usually functional in larvae
amphibians
1-2 pronephros remain
amphibians
adults with opisthonephros
amphibans
pronephros rarely produce nephrons
amniotes
remove nitrogenous waste
kidney
byproduct of protein digestion
highly toxic
ammonia
direct excretion of ammonia
ammonotelism
produce urea
urotelism
