Transcript Urogenital Systems

Urinary System
 Kidney = Nephrons dorsal to coelom.
 Nephron = Tubular structure that
reabsorbs substances from a coelomic
fluid-derived or plasma-derived filtrate
Nephron Structure
 Coelomic funnel = cilliated opening of
nephron to coelom – where coelomic
fluid enters the nephron
 Bowman’s capsule = end of nephron
that surrounds a mass of capillaries
(Glomerulus) – where plasma enters
the nephron
 Concentrated fluid waste (urine) is
formed that usually is rich in
nitrogenous (e.g. urea, uric acid)
waste.
Human Kidney Development
Nephron Development
 Intermediate mesoderm forms nephric
tubules in nephric ridges.
 Some remain contiguous with the
coelom of the lateral plate mesoderm.

Nephron Development
Kidney Regions
 Nephric ridges
 Pronephros = Segmental; develops 1st;
coelomic funnel (Lost in adults, except Myxini).
 Mesonephros = Segmental; posterior to
pronephros; coelomic funnel &
Bowman’s capsule (Lost in adult amniotes).
 Metanephros = Develop segmentally
but obscured by nephron proliferation (but
segmental in hagfishes); posterior to
mesonephros; Bowman’s capsule.

Kidney Development
 Archinephric duct = Pronephros
initiates formation; drains pro-, meso-, &
sometimes meta-nephros.
 Accessory duct = Develops
longitudinally from the archinephric duct
(in some elasmobrachs and salamanders);
drains the meso- and meta-nephros.
 Metanephric Duct (ureter) = Develops
as bud from base of the archinephric
duct; drains metanephros (Only in amniotes).

Adult Kidney Types
 Holonephric Kidney = pro-, meso-,
and segmental meta-nephric tubules
 Opisthonephric Kidney =
mesonephric and metanephric tubules
drained by archinephric and possibly
accessory ducts.
 Metanephric Kidney = composed only
of non-segmental metanephric tubules;
drained by metanephric duct (ureter).

Nitrogenous Waste
 Ammonia = NH4+, toxic, excreted in large
amounts by many aquatic organisms (not all).
hagfishes, lampreys, Actinopterygii, lungfishes,
coelacanths, amphib., crocodylians, aquatic turtles.
 Urea = CO(NH2 ), less toxic,
gnathostomes (Actinopterygiians use it less,
Chondrichthyians and Mammals most).
 Uric Acid = C4O3N4H3, less toxic, slightly
soluble in water, precipitates in cloaca.
Requires least amount of water to excrete.
Only reptiles produce in large amounts.

Reproductive System
 Gonad = Organ that produces gametes
and hormones.
 Testis = Male gonad
 Seminiferous tubules = site of sperm
formation in testis.
 Ovary = Female gonad
 Follicle = Specialized cells that surround
a developing ovum in the ovary.
 Gamete = 1n sex cell (sperm/ ovum).
Gonadal Histology
Gonad Development
 Indifferent gonad (Genital ridges) = the early
gonad; neither testis nor ovary.
 Germ cells = will form gametes.
Migrate from endoderm via dorsal mesentery.
 Primary Sex Cords = coelomic mesothelium
of ridge grows into mesenchyme of ridge.
♂ primary sex cords  seminiferous tubules
♀ primary sex cords  form and disappear
 Secondary Sex Cords = mesothelium again
grows into mesenchyme of genital ridge.
♀ secondary sex cords  ovarian follicles

Male Urogenital Ducts
 ALL Non-amniotes = archinephric ducts drain
kidneys.
 Amniotes = metanephric ducts drain kidneys.
 Hagfishes & Lampreys = no testis ducts.
 Gnathostomes = archinephric ducts drain the
testes (also drain the kidneys in all nonamniote ganthostomes).

 Amniotes = metanephric ducts drain kidneys.
 Hagfishes & lampreys = no ovary ducts.
 Gnathostomes = Müllerian ducts open to the
coelom capture ova. (archinephric ducts lost
in female amniotes)
In birds the right Müllerian duct is reduced
and the right ovary is usually absent

gonoduct not open to coelom captures ova
(not the Müllerian duct)

Gonadal Descent
 In both male and female humans the
gonads move inferiorly, in males
dramatically so into the scrotum.
Cryptorchidism
Comparative Vertebrate Genitalia
 Genitalia = external or extruded
reproductive structures
 Intromittent organ = structure for
transfer of sperm to facilitate internal
fertilization (but not necessary for it);
Intromittent organs evolved repeatedly.
 Internal fertilization:
Chondrichthyans, Amniotes, &
Miscellaneous others
Cloaca
 Cloaca = (sewer in Latin) ectodermal,
posterior chamber; intestine, urinary
system, and reproductive system
“empty” here.
 Cloaca lost in Therian mammals,
Actinopterygiians, and chimaeras.
Separate, external anal and urogenital
openings.
Chondrichthyan Male Genitalia
 Claspers = paired pelvic fin derived
structures; grooved for sperm
transfer.
Amniote Genitalia
 Amniotes ancestrally develop a genital
tubercle.
Homologous to glans penis and
glans clitoris in mammals.
 Genital tubercle often regresses in
female non-mammalian amniotes.
 Lepidosaurs and most birds have
secondarily lost the genital tubercle.

Male Genitalia
 Median penis = in amniotes; derived
from genital tubercle; erectile tissue and
a sulcus spermaticus (groove).
Secondarily lost in lepidosaurs and
most birds (ratites, ducks & geese retain)
Mammals = closed sulcus spermaticus
that in therians also extends the urethra
Many mammals have a baculum (bone
in the penis)
Testudinean Male Genitalia
Crocodylian Genitalia
Rhea Male Genitalia
Monotreme Male Genitalia
 Slightly forked penis (four-headed).
 Testes remain abdominal (no scrotum).
echidna penis
Therian Testes
 Scrotum sac containing the testes
outside of the male’s body.
 Adult testes usually are in a scrotum or
to under the skin’s surface.
Marsupial Genitalia
 Forked penis in most male marsupials.
(scrotum anterior to penis)
 Paired vaginas in all female marsupials.
sugar glider penis
Kangaroo Male Genitalia
Eutherian Genitalia
 Simple penis in most male euterians.
(scrotum posterior to penis)
 Single vagina in all female eutherians.
