Embryology Course IX - Urogenital SystemRawa Muhsin
This session discusses the development of the urogenital system and includes:
1. Development of the kidneys and ureters
2. Development of the bladder and urethra
3. Development of the gonads and genital ducts
4. Development of the external genitalia
Functionally the urogenital system can be divided into two entirely different components:
The urinary system
The genital system.
Embryologically and anatomically they are intimately interwoven.
Both develop from a common mesodermal ridge (intermediate mesoderm) along the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity,
Initially the excretory ducts of both systems enter a common cavity, the cloaca.
Three slightly overlapping kidney systems are formed in a cranial to caudal sequence during intrauterine life in humans:
The pronephros, (rudimentary and nonfunctional).
The mesonephros, (function for a short time during the early fetal period).
The metanephros, (forms the permanent kidney)
Urinary.pptx knowledge about tracts and inauguration of the dayakshayamritanshuru40
The urinary tract is the system in the body that is responsible for producing, storing, and eliminating urine. It includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste products from the blood to produce urine, which then travels through the ureters to the bladder for storage. When the bladder is full, urine is expelled from the body through the urethra. The urinary tract plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and removing waste products from the bloodstream.

Indications
This view is useful in visualizing calcifications anywhere along the renal tract (i.e. kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra). It is also used as baseline/interval images in contrast studies (i.e. intravenous urography).
Patient position
the patient is supine, lying on their back, either on the x-ray table (preferred) or a trolley
patients should be changed into a hospital gown, with radiopaque items removed (e.g. belts, zippers, buttons, ECG electrodes)
the patient should be free from rotation; both shoulders and hips equidistant from the table/trolley
the x-ray is taken on full inspiration
this causes the diaphragm to contract, hence compressing the abdominal organs, allowing all renal contents to be visualized on a single image

Practical points
In male patients, it is acceptable to perform imaging with collimation extending inferior to the pubic symphysis as there may be renal calculi in the urethra too.
Exposure will need to be adjusted according to the imaging system (CR or DR) and patient size. Where possible, a higher kVp should be used in the evaluation of radiopaque objects.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

EMBRYOLOGY OF KIDNEY AND URETER.pdf
1. EMBRYOLOGY OF KIDNEY AND URETER
Gold Medalist Miss Kiran Inam

2. INTRODUCTION
— Development of the urinary system is closely related to the
development of the reproductive system; particularly during
the earlier stages – where they develop from the same origin.
However, the urinary system develops ahead of the
reproductive system.
— The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder
and urethra. A region of intermediate mesoderm, known as
the urogenital ridge, gives rise to these structures.
3. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES
Blastula is a sphere of cell with a liquid center.
Blastula is the last stage of embryogenesis and after this stage
organ development occur
In blastula day by day development occur
Through a gastrulating process the blastula become gastrula
(contain 3 parts)
i-ectoderm
ii-mesoderm
iii-endoderm
Mesoderm
Which are divided into three parts
Paraxial mesoderm (tendons, cartilage, muscles)
Intermediate mesoderm (kidney , gonads)
Lateral mesoderm
5. PRONEPHROS
The pronephros appears in the 4th week of development.
It is non functional and rudimentary.
Its development begins in the cervical region of the embryo.
Segmented divisions of intermediate mesoderm form tubules,
known as nephrotomes. In total, 6-10 pairs of nephrotomes
are formed.
These tubules join into the pronephric duct, which is a duct
that extends from the cervical region to the cloaca (distal end)
of the embryo. This early system is non-functional and
regresses completely by the end of week 4.
6. MESONEPHROS
The mesonephros develops caudally (inferiorly) to the
pronephros. First, the presence of the pronephric duct
induces nearby intermediate mesoderm in the thoracolumbar
region to form mesonephric tubules.
These tubules receive a tuft of capillaries from the dorsal
aorta – allowing for the filtration of blood – and they drain into
the mesonephric duct (a continuation of the pronephric duct).
They act as a primitive excretory system in the embryo, with
most tubules regressing by the end of the 2nd month.
Additionally, the mesonephric duct sprouts the ureteric
bud caudally, which induces the development of the definitive
kidney.
7. METANEPHROS
— The metanephros forms the definitive kidney. It appears in
the 5th week of development and becomes functional around
the 12th week.
— The ureteric bud from the mesonephric duct makes contact
with a caudal region of intermediate mesoderm –
the metanephric blastema
— Collectively, these blastema form the metanephric system,
which has two components:
1. Collecting system
2. Excretory system
8. METANEPHROSE
Collecting system – derived from the ureteric bud.
It dilates to create the ureter, renal pelvis, major and minor
calyces and collecting tubules – terminating at the distal
convoluted tubule.
If the uretic bud splits too early, two ureters, or two renal
pelvices connecting to one ureter may result.
Excretory system – derived from the metanephric blastema.
Each collecting tubule from the collecting system is
covered by a metanephric tissue cap which gives rise to
the excretory tubules.
These excretory tubules (along with the developing
glomeruli) form the kidney’s functional units – the nephron.
The proximal end of the excretory tubule forms the
Bowman’s capsule around a glomerulus, while the distal
end elongates to form the proximal convoluted tubule, loop
of Henle and distal convoluted tubule
9. METANEPHRIC OR DEFINITIVE KIDNEY
The definitive kidney initially develops in the pelvic
region before ascending into the abdomen. In the pelvis, the
kidney receives its blood supply from a pelvic branch of the
abdominal aorta and as it ascends, new arteries from the
abdominal aorta supply the kidney. The pelvic vessels usually
regress, but can persist as accessory renal arteries.
Each metanephric kidney 'ascends' from the pelvic region,
where it originates, to its final position on the posterior wall of
the abdomen.It reaches T12 – L3 vertebral level by 9th week
of intra-uterine life.
11. DERIVATIVE OF EMBRYONIC
KIDNEY
Ureteric bud…….Ureter, renal pelvis, major/minor calyces, &
collecting tubules.
Metanephric mesoderm….Renal glomeruli + capillaries +
Bowman’s capsule + PCT + loops of Henle +DCT.
Mesonephric duct derivatives are epidydimis, vas deferens,
trigone of bladder, ureter.
12. DEVELOPMENT OF URETER
Normal Ureter Development.
At the fifth week of development, the ureteric bud arises as a
diverticulum from the mesonephric (Wolfian) duct. The bud
grows laterally and invades the center of the
metanephrogenic blastema.
The adult ureter is a thick-walled muscular tube, 25 - 30 cm in
length, running from the kidney to the urinary bladder.
Anatomically can be described in two parts the abdominal
part (pars abdominalis) and pelvic part (pars pelvina).
The ureter is composed of three layers: outer fibrous layer
(tunica adventitia), muscular layer (tunica muscularis) and
mucous layer (tunica mucosa).
The muscular layer can also be subdivided into 3 fibre layers:
an external longitudinal, a middle circular, and an internal
longitudinal.
