Q

what do mesonephric tubules form?

Q

what do the proximal and distal ends of metanephric tubules form?

Q

what does each DCT connect to?

Study These Flashcards
A

an arches collecting tubule

21
Q

how are the definitive kidneys placed into the adult position? when does this happen?

what is the kidney now in contact with?

Study These Flashcards
A

start in pelvis but ascend to abdomen, hilum medially rotates 90 degrees

happens by 9th week

in contact with suprarenal glands

** mesonephros degenerates at this point

22
Q

what 2 arteries are the first to supply the definitive kidney?

Study These Flashcards
A

first branch- common iliacs

definiteive renal arteries from abdominal aorta

23
Q

overview

what portion (collecting or excretory) does uretic bud form?

what adult structures does it give rise to?

Study These Flashcards
A

collecting portion

gives rise to: ureter, renal pelvis, major and minor calyces, collecting ducts

24
Q

overview

what portion (collecting or excretory) is metanephric blastema?

what adult structures does it give rise to?

Study These Flashcards
A

excretory portion

gives rise to: Bowmans capsule, PCT, loop of henle, DCT

25
what sex is unilateral renal agenesis most common in? symptoms?
males usually asymptomatic
26
what causes bilateral renal agenesis? associated symptoms?
oligohydramnios pulmonary hypoplasia (non-viable) and Potter syndrome
27
what causes duplications in the kidney? what are the 2 types?
abnormal division of uretic bud 1. incomplete division- divided kidney and bifid ureter 2. complete- double kidney and bifid or separate ureters
28
what causes horseshoe kidney? sx?
fushion of inferior poles and ascent prevented by IMA (?) asympotamatic
29
are accessory renal vessels a problem? (hint: no) what can happen if they do cause a problem?
no- many adults have them can obstruct ureter and cause hydronephrosis or if end arteries are damaged can cause ischemia
30
what causes polycystic kidney disease? sx?
autosomal recessive mutation of PKHD1 cysts present in both kidneys, renal insufficiency, and pulmonary hypoplasia in some cases
31
what causes multicystic dysplastic kidney disease? sx?
cysts are dilations of loop of henle due to abnormal renal development only one kidney affected in most people
32
where is the urogenital sinus located?
in the ventral cloaca (along with anorectal canal)
33
what are the 3 parts of the urogenital sinus? what separates them?
1. vesical part- forms most of bladder 2. pelvic part- forms neck of bladder, prostatic urethra (in males), urethra (in females) 3. phallic part- forms spongy urethra (in males) and lining of vagina (in females) all separted by urorectal septum
34
when does mesonephric duct become incorporated into posterior wall of bladder? what do they connect to after this?
between weeks 4-6 openings travel inferiorly to connect with pelvic urethra
35
what is also connecting to the bladder wall at the same time the mesonephric duct is? what region is formed when these both are connected to bladder?
uretic bud ## Footnote **trigone**
36
what is the epithelium of the bladder derived from?
endoderm (from urogenital sinus?)
37
what is the submucosa and muscularis of bladder derived from?
splanchnic mesoderm
38
what is the trigone derived from (layer wise)?
intermediate mesoderm (from mesonephric ducts)
39
how is median umbilical ligament formed?
starts with allantois (membrane derived from hindgut)---\> it constricts and forms urachus---\> extends from bladder to umbilicus which then forms ligament
40
what is exstrophy of the bladder (ectopic vesicae)? when does it arise? sex most common in? sx?
defective closure of ventral abdominal wall arises during body folding in 4th week males will have exposure of mucosa of the bladder posterior wall
41
what is epispadias? sex common in? associated sx?
urethral opening on dorsal side of genital tubercle rather than ventral males exstrophy of bladder can happen
42
what is anomaly of urachal cysts?
remnants of urachus epithelium that become large and infected
43
what is anomaly of urachal sinus?
end of urachus remains open into bladder or umbilicus
44
what is anomaly of urachal fistula?
entire urachus remains patent and allows escape of urine umbilical orifice (pee out their belly button. eek)
45
what does the cortex of the suprarenal gland consist of? what does each layer produce? (review yay!)
zona glomerulosa: produces mineralocorticoids zona fasciculata: produces glucocorticoids zona reticularis: produces sex hormones and estrogen/testosterone related hormones
46
what does the medulla of suprarenal gland consist of?
chromaffin cells (postganglionic sympathetic neurons) that release NE and Epi
47
how does the cortex of the suprarenal gland develop?
at week 5, colemic epithelium (somatic mesoderm?) delaminates and enters surrounding mesoderm---\> forms fetal cortical cells---\> becomes definitive cortical cells 2 months after birth---\> cells reorganize and form the zona layers
48
how does medulla of suprarenal gland form?
neural crest migrate into area and form chromaffin cells
49
what does the fetal cortical cells secrete to maintain pregnancy?
DHEA which is converted by placenta to estradiol also secretes ACTH and glucocorticoids
