6 Pronephros (4 th week) transitory, nonfunctional structures; analogous to the kidneys in primitive fishes located in cervical region its duct open into the cloaca 6

7 Mesonephros (4th week) amphibians; located caudal to the rudimentary pronephros 7

8 Development of nephrons 5w Intermediate mesoderm mesonephric vesicle S-shaped mesonephric tubule mesonephric (Wolffian) duct cloaca (urogenital sinus) 8

9 Development of nephrons Intermediate mesoderm mesonephric vesicle S-shaped mesonephric tubule mesonephric (Wolffian) duct cloaca (urogenital sinus) medial end of mesonephric tubule + blood capillaries (glomerulus) glomerular (Bowman s) capsule 9

10 Development of nephrons 5 w ureteric bud a dorsal outgrowth from the mesonephric duct near its entry into the cloaca (urogenital sinus) ureteric bud collecting system metanephrogenic blastema ( metanephric mesoderm ) excretory 10

11 Ureteric bud 1. primitive renal pelvis major calyces minor calyces collecting tubules 2. the stalk itself ureter 11

12 Development of nephrons metanephric (tissue) cap metanephric vesicles metanephric tubules nephrons or excretory units (10-18th weeks, 32th week upper limit) (i) proximal end Bowman s capsule (ii) distal end proximal & distal convoluted tubules, Henle s loop 12

13 Development of nephrons 8 week 20 weeks to 38 weeks 13

14 Genes involved in differention of the kidneys 14

15 Kidneys and suprarenal glands 28 w -- normally has polylobar appearance due to the manner of development of the ureteric bud in the metanephrogenic blastema -- increase in kidney size: elongation of proximal convoluted tubules & interstitial tissue 15

16 Positional changes of kidneys 6 w 9 w changes in kidney position: 9 th week -- the metanephros initially iti is located in the pelvic region but shifts later to a more cranial position in the abdomen 16

17 Positional changes of kidneys effects : factors: (i) a diminution i of fthe body curvature (ii) growth of the body in the lumbar and sacral regions (i) the kidney hilum initially faces ventrally (ii) after ascent, the hilum is directed medially due to the 90º rotation of the kidney 17

18 Changes in the blood supply of the developing kidneys.in the pelvis, the metanephros receives its arterial supply from the branches of common iliac arteries 19

19 Changes in the blood supply of the developing kidneys 20

20 Changes in the blood supply of the developing kidneys.during ascent to the abdomen, the kidney is vascularized by arteries that originate from the aorta at continuously higher levels 21
