Urogenital System Flashcards
urinary shares primordia with what other system?
reproductive
e.g. urethra urine/semen
4 primordia contributors
intermediate column of mesoderm aka UR
cloaca aka terminal hindgut
genital swellings
germ cells
intermediate column of mesoderm forms what?
gonad/duct system
kidney (nephrons) and part of duct system
cloaca forms what?
bladder/portion of urethra
rectum
genital swellings form what?
external genitalia
where is the IM positioned?
between lateral plate and paraxial
urogenital ridges contains two ducts/tubes
mesonephric duct aka Wolffian –> empties into cloaca, forms vas deferens and ureters
paramesonephric aka mullerian –> ends blindly behind cloaca, forms uterus/vagina
cloaca
abuts against cloacal membrane (ectoderm)
divides into rectum/bladder
genital swellings (form 3)
genital tubercle (penis/clitoris) labioscrotal folds (labia majora, scrotum) urogenital folds (labia minora, ventral penis)
germ cells
originate in yolk sac and migrate into embryo to developing gonad in urogenital ridge
partitioning of cloaca
rectum
bladder
urethra
development of metanephric kidney
ureteric bud –> collecting system (ureter, pelvis, calyces, collecting tubules)
metanephros –> nephrons
mesonephric duct opens into what?
cloaca
formation of metanephric kidney involves which two primordial?
ureteric bud (via mesonephric duct) forms collecting system metanephros forms nephrons
- ureteric bud grows into metanephric tissue
- kidney ascends to adult position
ureteric bud separates from mesonephric duct and does what?
incorporates into bladder wall and becomes ureter (superior/posterior opening)
mesonephric duct opening then becomes vas deferens w/ ductus deferens to open into the first part of urethra (prostatic urethra)
FUSION OF ENDODERM w MESODERM (small portion of bladder made of mesoderm)
mesodermal component of bladder located?
posterior wall between ureteral openings (TRIGONE)
testes vs. kidney blood supply
testes retain original blood supply
kidneys establish new arteries
ductus deferens “loops over” ureter
gonads form from what?
medial urogenital ridge
indifferent stage
male/female
mesonephric ducts
paramesonephric ducts
what persists in the male/female?
male: mesonephric duct
female: paramesonephric
variations in kidney ascent
pelvic kidney horseshoe kidney (abuts INF mesenteric)
ureter variation
duplication of the ureter
variation of the urorectal septum
incomplete growth: bladder/rectum continuous
