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 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
|
|

|
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

|
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

|
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 |

|
|
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?

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)

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)
