Development of Urinary System
Position of Kidney
Kidney systems
Pronephros (1st ) Mesonephr os (2nd ) Metanephros (3rd )
Rudimentary Function for short time Froms permanent
Nonfun ctional in early fetal period kidney
Represented by 7-10 Develop from Excretory units
solid cell groups in intermediate develop from
cervical region mesoderm metanephric Kidney ascent (from pelvic region)(to cranial position in abdomen )
(beginning of 4th week) (upper thoracic → L3 ) mesoderm Ascent is caused by growth of body in lumbar & sacral regions
Cell groups form 1st excretory tubules (metanephric In pelvis, metaneprhos receive arterial supply from pelvic branch of aorta
Vestigial excretory appear (during blastema) During ascend (abdominal level), vascularised by arteries from aorta
units, Nephrotomes regression of Lower vessels degenerate (some remain as accessory arteries)
(regress before more pronephric system)
caudal ones formed ) Functions of Kidney
Disappeared Lengthen to form Collecting system Functional within 12th week
(by the end of 4th week) S shaped loop develop from ureteric Urine passed into amniotic cavity mixes with amniotic fluid
Form Glomerulus bud Fluid is swallowed by kidneys – recycled through kidneys
Form Bowman’s During fetal life, kidney does not function to excrete waste products
capsule (Placenta function to excrete waste products)
(Renal corpus cle)
Mesonephric duct
(Wolffian d uct)
Form Urogenital ridge
Caudal tubules (few)
and mesonephric d uct
persists (participate in
Male genital system
formation)
Collecting system
Develop from ureteric bud
Ureteric bud gives rise to
Ureter
Renal pelvis
Major, Minor Calyces
1-3 million Collecting Tubules
