Development of the Urinary System (Exam 2) Flashcards
What is the upper urinary system composed of
kidney
ureter
What is the lower urinary system composed of
bladder
urethra
What will mesoderm differentiate into
paraxial
intermediate
lateral plate
What germ cell layer will give rise to the urinary and genital systems
intermediate mesoderm
What embryonic layer will also give rise to the urinary and genital system
coelomic epithelium
What does coelemic epithelium contribute to
CT of ducts
What is the urogenital ridge
longitudinal elevation of intermediate mesoderm
Where is the urogenital ridge located
lateral to somite
What does the urogenital ridge differentiate into
nephrogenic cord
gonadal system
What does the nephrogenic cord of the urogenital ridge give rise to
urinary system
What does the gonadal system of the urogenital ridge give rise to
genital system
Where is the urogenital ridge found
posterior body wall
What are the 3 stages of kidneys
pronephros
mesonephros
metanephros
What is the pronephros kidney
rudimentary and nonfunctional
When is the pronephros kidney formed
Week 4 (lasts 1 week)
What is the mesonephros kidney
embryonic kidney, functions for a short time
When is the mesonephros kidney formed
week 4-8
What is the metanephros kidney
permanent kidney
When will pronephroi be formed
day 24
What are pronephroi
tufts of intermediate mesoderm that will form tubules and open into duct
What is the cloaca
common opening for excretory, digestive, and reproductive products
Where will mesonephros empty
into the mesonephric duct that empties into the cloaca
How are the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule formed
aorta forms glomerulus
Bowman’s capsule starts to form a long the posterior body wall
Where will the mesonephric vesicle dump
mesonephric duct
