what portion of the mesoderm is the urogenital system derived from?
intermediate mesoderm
what do the three types of mesoderm each become?
paraxial -- muscloskeletal
intermediate -- urogenital
lateral plate -- peritoneum, pleura
what are the three successive types of "kidneys" that are formed?
cervical nephrotomes (pronephroi) -> mesonephroi -> metanephroi
what does the exstrophied mesonephric duct become?
the trigone
what will the mesonephric duct eventually become?
ductus deferens
cervical nephrotomes
develop out of intermediate mesoderm
they connect to the mesonephric duct
as they become tubules, the more caudal ones develop, while the cranial ones regress

they are non fxnl and are gone by day 24-25
are the mesonephroi fxnl?
yes! they contain fxnl nephric units consisting of glomeruli, Bowman's capsule, meonephric tubules, and mesonephric ducts
reciprocal relationship of uteric bud and blastema
uteric buds sprout from the distal portion of the mesonephric ducts on day 28...sevearl days later the bud penetrates sacral intermediate mesoderm (blastema) and begins to bifurcate. The bifurcation induces the growth of bastema around each bifurcation. The is the formation of the true kidney.
what does the uteric bud become?
collecting duct
renal pelvis
ureter
what does the blastema?
the stroma and the nephrons
what is a horseshoe kidney?
as the kidneys ascend, they get stuck under the IMA. their hila point anteriorly, and though they are attached, they are functionally independent.
what happens to the vasculature of the kidney as it ascends from the sacral region?
it is progressively revascularized by a series of arterial sprouts from the dorsal aorta (the original renal artery in the sacral region disappears)
how might a kidney end up with accessory renal arteries (i.e. extras!)?
due to failure of transient inferior renal arteries to regress while kidneys are ascending
what causes a horseshoe kidney?
the inferior poles of the two metanephroi may fuse during ascent, forming a U-shaped kidney that crosses the ventral side of the aorta
when do the kidneys start to ascend?
7th week
what is the cloaca?
the expanded area of the hindgut (most caudal) that will split. anterior: bladder
posterior: rectum

a septum of mesoderm will eventually divide them
what happens while the primitive urogenital sinus is forming? (hint: ureters)
the mesonephric ducts and uteric buds intercalate into its posterior wall
what does exstrophy refer to?
the eversion of a hollow organ
what is the superior part of the urogenital sinus continuous with?
the allantois, since the space forms the future bladder
what does the constricted pelvic urethra become?
membranous urethra in women
prostatic urethra in men
how are the ureters formed?
the mesonephric ducts exstrophy into the back of the urogenital sinus, moving downwards and pulling the uteric buds with them

the uteric buds will become the ureters and the mesonephric duct will become the ductus deferens
what will the definitive urogenital sinus become?
vestibule of vagina in females
penile urethra in males
what can happen if the allantois, which was continuous with the bladder, doesn't constrict?
dribbling of urine out of umbilicus
due to urachal fistula, cyst, or a sinus
what does the allantois become in adults?
the median umbilical fold
the cloacal membrane, by the early 7th week, has divided into two membranes (urogenital and anal), what happens if this doesn't occur?
the descending septum will have nothing to fuse with and a single channel will exist for both urine and feces
how does the penis form?
urogenital folds fuse around the definitive urogenital sinus but don't extend the full length. an epithelial invagination at the top descends to form full penile urethra
what do the labioscrotal folds give rise to in men? in women?
scrotum
labia majora
what does the genital tubercle become in both sexes?
men -- glans and shaft of penis
women -- gland and shaft of clitoris
what to the urethral and labioscrotal folds become in women?
u -- labia minora
l -- labia majora
what does the pectinate line mark?
the junction between inferior end of rectum (derived from endoderm) and the superior end of the anal pit (derived from ectoderm)
how does the genital ridge form?
during 5th/6th week, forms in posterior abdominal wall just medial to developing mesonephroi in response to colonization of primordial germs cells migrating from the yolk sac
paramesonephric ducts
week 6
begin to form just lateral to mesonephric ducts in both males and females, arising from craniocaudal invagination of a ribbon of thickened coelomic epithelium lining the peritoneal cavity
male gonad development
testes determining factor cause cortical cells to degenerate and medullary cords form sertoli cells
AMH causes cells of gonadal ridge to form Leydig cells (which produce T) and the paramesonephric ducts degenerate
why does the tunica albuginea form?
to separate feminizing influence of regressing cortical cells from rete testis
in the developing male gonad, waht do the mesonephric tubules become?
rete testis, draining into ductus deferens
descent of the testes
week 7
gubernaculum begins to shorten, causing the testes to descend
what do the seminal vesicles arise from?
ductus deferens (mesonephric duct)
what do the prostate and bulbourethral glands arise from?
primitive urogenital sinus
development of female gonads
paramesonephric duct develops to form oviduct
mesonephric duct degenerates
cortical sex cords develop and regress to form follicle cells
how are the uterus, upper vagina and uterine tubes formed?
by fusing in the midline of the paramesonephric ducts
how does the vagina form?
at 20 weeks, there is an outgrowth from the urogenital sinus and the inferior end of the vagina forms from the sinuvaginal bulbs on the posterior wall of the primitive urogenital sinus
how does the broad ligament form?
as the paramesonephric ducts are pulled away from the posterior body wall, they drage a fold of peritoneum with them, forming the broad ligaments
what are derivatives of the gubernaculum?
ovarian ligament
round ligament of the uterus
labia majora
what happens if there is a premature bifurcation of the uteric bud?
bifid ureter
what happens if there are two uteric buds?
complete duplicate ureters result
in heart development, what happens on day 19?
endocardial tues being to develop in the cardiogenic area (splanchnopleuric mesoderm) located cranial and lateral to the neural plate.
how are the endocardial tubes brought together?
late in the third week, the cephalic and lateral folding of the embryo brings the two lateral endocardial tubes into the thoracic region where they meet along the midline and fuse to form a single tube

this folding brings the cardiogenic area more ventrally into the thoraci region and lateral folds bring presumptive aorta in line with each other
vitelline vein fxn
drain blood from heart
what does the bulbus cordis form?
part of outflow track and right ventricle
what does the atrioventricular sulcus form?
it will divide the primitive atrium from ventricle
looping of heart tube
bulbos cordus pushes down to become right ventricle, future left ventricle is shoved to the left and primitive atrium is shoved behind
atrial septation
1 endocardial cushion area between atrium and ventricle on anterior and posterior walls grow together to form two channels connecting ventricles and atria

2. septum primum comes down from back wall toward atrioventricular canal and separates nascent atria...this is the ostium primum

THEN an incomplete septum secundum forms next to the septum primum (this is thick and muscular compared to the whispy primum) and formes the foramen ovale
what forms the right to left shunt in the fetal heart?
septum primum and septum secundum (ostium secundum and foramen ovale, respectively)
how is the atrioventricular canal repositioned?
as the septum intermedium forms during the 5th week, teh heart is remodeled to align the developing left atrioventricular canal with left atrium and same on other side
what does the truncus arteriosus become?
outflow tract that needs to be septated to form pulmonary artery and aorta
what forms the atrioventricular valves?
ventricle myocardium arising from differentiation of the adjacent endocardial cusions
what do the aortic arches connect?
they are arteries connecting embryonic heart to the paired dorsal aortae in the cervical region of the embryo
which of the 6 aortic arches don't really go on to form anything of importance?
1st and 2nd mostly regress
5th never really develops
3rd aortic arch
remains bilaterally symmetrical and develops into the carotid vessels
what does the 4th arch become?
aortic arch on the left and part of the subclavian artery on the right
what does the 6th aortic arch become?
ductus arteriosus on the left
regresses on the right
pulmonary arteries arise from both sides of the 6th arches
development of recurrent laryngeal nerve
during development, gets trapped around ductus arteriosus on left, but not on right because the 6h arch has regressed on that side. instead, get stuck under the fourth arch on the right (i.e. subclavian artery)
ventral branches of the fetal aorta
vitelline arteries to yolk sac arise from ventral aorta and give rise to the arterial supply to the GI tract
lateral branches of the dorsal aorta
supply organs of the posterior body wall (those that develops in retroperitoneal space: kidneys, renals, goands)
dorsal branches of the aorta
intersegmental branches that supply the back, the body wall, and the limbs (ex. accompany intercostal nerves)
how many venous systems does the embryo have?
3: umbilical, vitelline, cardinal

(umbilical is the only one that carries oxygenated blood)
what is the ligamentum teres?
artifact of umbilical vein that carried oxygenated blood from mother to fetus
vitelline veins fxn in embryo
drain yolk sac in the embryo...one will regress, the other will be retained and drain the gut tube and associated structures in the adult
cardinal veins of embryo
drain the body wall and associated structures...forms teh caval and azygous systems in the adult
remodelling/regression to form right-sided venous system
left horn of sinus venosus regreses to form coronary sinus
anterior cardinal veins come together to form brachiocephalic veins
right vitelline vein becomes the terminal segment of the IVC
fetal circulation
umbilical vein -> ductus venosus shunt through liver -> right atrium -> oval foramen shunt rt to lt atrium -> aorta to umbilical arteries

note: any blood that moves from the rt atrium to ventricle is shunted to the aorta by the ductus arteriosus
what do the vitelline artery and vein become in the adult?
vein -- portal system and liver sinusoids
artery -- arteries to GI
what do the cardinal veins become in the adult?
caval and azygous venous
systems
what do the umbilical arteries and veins become in the adult?
