Urogenital System

Ducts of excretory and reproductive
systems are intimately associated
with each other
Figure 14.1. Embryonic
origin of the kidneys (book
figure 14.4).
Figure 14.2. Evolutionary development of
kidneys in vertebrates.
Primitive Kidney

Archinephros- primitive excretory kidney
organ
 Holonephric concept - (3 kidneys are a
part of one organ)
 Filtration system
 Archinephric duct- drains to cloaca or
bladder
Figure 14.3. Hypothetical archinephros.
Primitive Kidney (cont.)



Pronephros
 1st tubules to appear
 Anteriorly located; head kidney
 Involutes to form lymphoidal mass
 Only functions temporarily
All tubules associated with pronephros
Pronephric (archinephric) duct drains pronephros
