Mesoderm that gives rise to urogenital system
Intermediate
Components of urogenital ridge
Gonadal ridge and nephrogenic cord
Pronephros
Begins Week 4 by capillaries invading nephrogenic cord; ends week 4

Forms excretory units from capillaries (from developing aorta) + tubules

Goes away
Mesonephros system
Begins Week 4
Two components: Renal corpuscle and mesonephric duct
Renal corpuscle (blood filtering unit): glomerulus and bowman's capsule
Mesonephric ducts: final pathway for excretory tubules
Metanephros system
Begin Week 5; functional by Week 10
2 components it grows from: ureteric bud and metanephric blastema
Another name for mesonephric duct
Wollfian duct
Timing of Metanephros development and when they are functional
Week 5 and Week 10
Ureteric bud
Outgrowth of mesonephric duct
Forms collecting system of kidney
Ureter-->Renal Pelvis-->Major calyx-->Minor calyx-->Collecting tubules
Ureteric bud and metanephric blastema relationship?
Ureteric bud penetrates metanephric blastema
Adult derivatives of ureteric bud
Ureter, renal pelvis, major calyx, minor calyx, collecting tubules
Adult derivatives of metanephric blastema
Metablastemic tubules: distal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, proximal convoluted tubule, Bowman's capsule
Congenital abnormalities of kidney
Ectopic and horseshoe kidney
Blood flow changes to kidney?
Metanephros receives blood supply at progressively higher levels until definitive renal arteries develop at L2. Arteries formed during ascent may persist as supernumerary arteries
Cause of renal agenesis?
Oligohydraminos
Urine/Amniotic fluid relationship
Urine is secreted into amniotic fluid and ingested
Germ layers that give rise to the bladder
Surrounded by splanchnic mesoderm, lined with endoderm
Urorectal septum makes what compartments from cloaca?
Urogenital sinus and anal canal
Subdivisions of urogenital sinus
Upper, Pelvic, Phallic
Upper subdivision of urogenital sinus
Contributes to bladder and is continuous with allantois
Pelvic subdivision of urogenital sinus
Prostatic and membranous urethra
Phallic subdivision of urogenital sinus
Related to growth of genital ridge and differs between males and females
Urachus
Canal that drains fetal bladder; Fibrous remnant of allantois; median umbilical ligament
Mesonephric duct contribution to bladder
Ends absorbed into dorsal wall; becomes the trigone
Fate of mesonephric ducts in males and females
Males: develops into epididymis, ductus deferens, seminal vesicle

Females: Regresses
Exstrophy of bladder
Maldevelopment of the lower abdominal wall, leading to a rupture which causes the trigone to be seen and urine drips from breach; exposure of posterior mucosal wall of bladder
Development of suprarenal cortex
From mesoderm between root of mesentery and urogenital ridge; present at birth, regresses, and replaced by second local mesoderm proliferation to form definitive cortex
Development of suprarenal medulla
Neural crest cells migrate and penetrate medial aspect of fetal cortex;
Chromaffin cells
Neural crest cells will differentiate into epinephrine containing cells that stain with chromium salts
