  2. Metanephrogenic blastema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metanephrogenic_blastema

    The metanephrogenic blastema or metanephric blastema (or metanephric mesenchyme, or metanephric mesoderm) is one of the two embryological structures that give rise to the kidney, the other being the ureteric bud. The metanephric blastema mostly develops into nephrons, but can also form parts of the collecting duct system.

    During the fifth week of gestation, the mesonephric duct develops an outpouching, the ureteric bud, near its attachment to the cloaca. This bud, also called the metanephrogenic diverticulum, grows posteriorly and towards the head of the embryo. The elongated stalk of the ureteric bud, called the metanephric duct, later forms the ureter.

    The different colors indicate embryologic origin of structure: a) red = metanephric duct , b) yellow = urogenital sinus (bladder and urethra), c) blue = Wolffian duct (Gartner's ducts in female, seminal vesicles and vasa deferentia in male), pink = Müllerian ducts (vagina in female, prostatic utricle in male), green = hindgut .

  5. Mesonephric duct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesonephric_duct

    The mesonephric duct, also known as the Wolffian duct, archinephric duct, Leydig's duct or nephric duct, is a paired organ that develops in the early stages of embryonic development in humans and other mammals. It is an important structure that plays a critical role in the formation of male reproductive organs.

  6. Mammalian kidney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammalian_kidney

    The cause of acute kidney injury in most cases is ischemic or toxic injury. Mammalian kidneys are susceptible to ischemic injury because mammals lack a renal-portal system , and as a result, vascular vasoconstriction in the glomeruli can lead to decreased blood supply to the entire kidney.

  7. Medullary sponge kidney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medullary_sponge_kidney

    It is not certain what causes this pain, but researchers have proposed that the small numerous stones seen in MSK may cause obstruction of the small tubules and collecting ducts in the kidney. This pain can be constant, can often be debilitating and treatment is challenging. Narcotic medication, even in large quantities, is sometimes not adequate.

  8. Ureteric bud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ureteric_bud

    The ureteric bud, also known as the metanephric diverticulum, [1]: 50 is a protrusion from the mesonephric duct during the development of the urinary and reproductive organs. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It later develops into a conduit for urine drainage from the kidneys, which, in contrast, originate from the metanephric blastema .

  9. OHVIRA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OHVIRA

    Incomplete lateral fusion of the upper Müllerian duct segments causes a bicornuate uterus, whereas complete lack of lateral fusion can lead to uterine didelphys (ie, double uterus and cervix). In addition, failed vertical fusion of the paramesonephric ducts with the urogenital sinus results in a transverse vaginal septum, which can cause ...
