what is the little bud off of the mesphenphric duct
uteric bud
where do the nephrons connect
metanephric blastema
what does uteric bud form first
renal pelvis
what is the final branch that is formed in kidney called

when is kidney functional
10th week
in 10th week what is filtering the blood
maybe a very small amount is kidney, mostly the placenta filters the blood still

are there increase in number of nephrons after birth
no
