Why the relation between Ureter and ovarian and Uterine blood vessels is very important in female?

During Oophorectomy (removal of ovary) and hysterectomy (removal of uterus). To remove any organ from body, you have to ligate (tie) its blood supply. If ureters accidentally ligated with blood vessels, it will result in post-operative renal impairment, Which require immediate surgical intervention to relieve ligature from ureters

Intramural part of ureter

The ureters pierce the postro-superior angles of the base of the urinary bladder and run obliquely through its wall for a distance of 1.5–2.0 cm before opening at the ureteric orifices

Importance of arrangement in intramural part of ureter

To prevent the reflux of urine into ureter when the bladder is full, since intramural ureters are thought to be occluded during increases in bladder pressure at time of micturition.

Three normal constructions of Ureter course

1) At pelvic-ureteric ajunction


2) At bifurcation of common iliac artery


3) At utero-vesical junction

The sites of ureteric anatomical constrictions represent

most common site of renal stones impaction

Arterial blood supply of abdominal part of ureter

The abdominal part of ureter is supplied by arteries, originating medial to ureter, renal artery, gonadal artery and branches from abdominal aorta.

Arterial blood supply of pelvic part of ureter

The pelvic part of ureter is supplied by vessels, originating lateral to ureter by common iliac, internal iliac, vesicle and uterine arteries

Venous drainage of ureters

Same as arterial supply

Why ureter can be safely transected at any level intra operatively?

Because there's a good longitudinal anastomosis between these branches along the wall of the ureter.

b) Parasympathetic (from pelvic splanchnic nerve S2, S3,S4) -motor to muscle wall and inhibitory to sphincter

Atonic bladder results from lesion to sacral spine cord segments or sacral spine nerve roots. Explain its progression.

Loss of pelvic splanchnic motor innervation causes loss of contraction of detrusor muscle, which results in a full bladder with continuous dribble of urine.

Spastic bladder results from lesions of Spinal cord above the sacral spinal cord levels. Explain.

There's a loss of inhibition to parasympathetic innervation to detrusor muscle during filling stage. Thus, the detrusor muscle respond to a minimum amount of stretch, causing urge incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine) .

VIT

The part of the urogenital ridge that gives rise to the urinary system is called

Nephrogenic cord

After folding of the embryo, the intermediate mesoderm is carried

ventrally

the urogenital ridge is formed on each side of

the dorsal aorta

The pronephroi phase

→transitory, nonfunctional structures appear in the 4th week


→represented as a few cell clusters and tubular structures in the neck region opposite to the 7th to the14th somites


→pronephric ducts run caudally and open into the cloaca


→ rudimentary pronephroi are degenerate


→ most of the pronephric ducts persist and are utilized by the next set of the kidneys and its name is changed and called mesonephric ducts


The Mesonephroi phase

→large; elongated; excretory organs appear late in the 4th week caudal to the rudimentary pronephroi


→appears at a lower-level opposite to 14th to 28th somites in the thoracic and upper lumbar region of the embryo


→well developed and function as transient kidneys for about 4 weeks


→consists of glomeruli and mesonephric tubules ( tubules open into the mesonephric ducts which open into the cloaca )


→ mesonephroi degenerate toward the end of the 1st trimester

What's the difference of mesonephric tubules development in male and female?

In male, the mesonephric tubules become the efferent ductules of the testes.


☆ Mesonephric duct gives rise to PADDU PCCES


→ paradidymis → appendix of epididymis → duct of epididymis → ductus deferens→ ureter → pelvis → calices→ collecting tubules; ejaculatory duct and seminal gland



☆ In female, the mesonephric tubules become the Epoophoron and Paroophoron


☆The mesonephric duct gives rise to ADDUP2C


→ appendix vesiculosa → duct of epoophron → duct of Gartner → ureter → pelvis → calices and collecting tubules

Metanephroi phase

→ primordia of permanent kidneys which begin to develop early in the 5th week and start to function about 4 weeks later


→ permanent kidneys develop from 2 sources: ureteric bud & metanephric mass


→ primordia of the metanephros are of mesodermal origin

Permanent kidneys develop from 2 sources, Which are

ureteric bud and metanephric mass

Expanded cranial and of stalk of mesonephric duct becomes?

Renal pelvic

straight collecting tubules undergo repeated branching, forming ?

generations of tubules, major calices, minor calices and collecting tubules

Fetal kidneys

→divided into lobes


→ lobulation diminishes toward the end of fetal period, but the lobes are still inducated in the kidneys of a newborn infant


→lobulation disappears by the end of the first postnatal year during infancy as the nephrons increase and grow


increase in kidney size after birth results mainly from the elongation of the proximal convoluted tubules as well as an increase of interstitial tissue


→ functional maturation of the kidneys occurs after birth

Positional Changes of Kidneys

→ Initially the metanephric kidneys lie close to each other in the pelvis ventral to the sacrum



→As the abdomen and pelvis grow, the kidneys gradually come to lie in the abdomen and move farther apart and attain their adult position by 9th week



→Initially the hilum faces ventrally however, as the kidney ascends it rotates medially 90 degrees



By the 9th week the hilum is directed anteromedially

3) Ectopic pelvic kidney


Horseshoe kidney3) Ectopic pelvic kidney4) Renal agenesis


Horseshoe kidney3) Ectopic pelvic kidney4) Renal agenesis


Horseshoe kidney3) Ectopic pelvic kidney4) Renal agenesis



4) Renal agenesis

Polycystic kidney

→ is cystic kidney disease


→ autosomal disorder


→diagnosed at birth by ultrasonography


→ both kidneys contain many hundred small cysts which results in renal insufficiency.


→ death of infant usually occurs short after birth

Horseshoe kidney

→results from fusion of caudal ends of both kidneys


→interconnecting bridge becomes trapped behind the inferior mesenteric artery so that the kidneys come to rest in low lumbar region

Ectopic pelvic kidney

→kidney is arrested in some part of its normal ascent



→usually is found at the pelvic brim

Renal agenesis

→unilateral renal agenesis results due to absence of formation of one ureteric bud



→often causes no symptoms



→ Bilateral renal agenesis is associate with oligohydramnios



→ absence of one or both kidneys


The urogenital system develops from

Intraembryonic mesoderm

Development of the kidneys passes through 3 stages, which are?

1) The pronephroi


2) The mesonephroi


3) The metanephroi

Metanephric diverticulum development

→ outgrowth from the mesonephric duct near its entrance into the cloaca


→primordium of the ureter → renal pelvis → calices and collecting tubules


→as it elongates, it penetrates the metanephric mass of the intermediate mesoderm


→ the stalk of it becomes the ureter and its expanded cranial end forms the renal pelvis. → the straight collecting tubules undergo repeated branching, forming generations of tubules, major calices, minor calices and collecting tubules

Metanephric tubules (primordia of nephron) development

→ mass of the intermediate mesoderm derived from the caudal part of the nephrogenic cord


→end of each arched collecting tubule form metanephric vesicles


→metanephric vesicles elongate and become metanephric tubules


→proximal ends of these tubules are invaginated by glomeruli


glomerular filtration begins around the 9th fetal week


→ their number increases until the 32 week with increase in the rate of filtration after birth


renal corpuscle and its proximal convoluted tubules; loop of Henle and distal convoluted tubule constitute a nephron


→ nephrons become continuous with the collecting tubules to form the uriniferous tubules

Changes in Blood Supply of kidneys

➢ Initially, the renal arteries are branches of the common iliac and median sacral arteries



➢ As the kidneys ascend, they receive their blood supply from the distal end of the aorta.


➢ Then, they receive new branches from the aorta.



➢ The most cranial arterial branches from the abdominal aorta become the permanent renal arteries



➢When the kidneys become in contact with the suprarenal glands in the 9th week their ascend stops



➢ Normally, the caudal branches undergo involution and disappear

Multi-cystic dysplastic kidney disease (MDK)

results from dysmorphology (defect) during development of the renal system


→ outcome is generally good

The stalk of mesonephric duct becomes?

Ureter
