Nephrotomes develop in the intermediate mesoderm and function as primitive kidneys.
Each nephrotome consists of:
•a nephric duct drains the neprotomes
•a glomerulus (capillary tuft)- derived from an aortic branch
•Bowman’s capsule- surrounding the glomerulus
•a convoluted tubule
Nephrotomes • arise segmentally from C3 to S4• develop in cranio-caudal sequence

The intermediate mesoderm forms a ridge (the neprogenic cord) on either side of the
neural tube extending from C3 to S4.The pronephros is the most cranial part of the nephrogenic cord. It:• develops in the cervical region • at the beginning of week 3 • is very transient and atrophies within a few days

The mesonephros develops during the 3rd –5th weeks in the thoracic and lumbar regions
It forms about 40 functional nephrotomes in cranio-caudal sequence in continuity with the pronephros.
The nephrotomes atrophy and disappear by 10 –12 weeks, but the mesonephric ducts persists.
The nephrotomes drain into the mesonephric duct in the lateral part of the mesonephric ridge
The mesonephros does not contribute to the definitive kidney.

The mesonephric ducts forms in the lateral parts of the mesonephric ridges
The mesonephric ducts:
• grow medially ventral to the hindgut and establish contact with cloaca on day 26 (end of 4th week)
• first appear in the 4th week (24 days)
•are initially solid cords of cells
•grow by proliferation and migration of cells at the caudal end
• become canalized, beginning from their caudal ends and extending cranially.

The metanephric blastema develops from the sacral region of the intermediate mesoderm.
Ureteric budMetenephros
It grows into the metanephricblastema on day 32.
A ureteric bud grows from the caudal end of the mesonephric duct on day 28.

The ureteric bud and metanephricblastema form the definitive kidney.
The ureteric bud branches repeatedly. Each branch is covered by a cap of
metanephric blastema to form a renal lobe.Ureteric

Further branching of the ureteric bud gives rise to the collecting tubules
Formaton and resorptionof branches forms 2-4 major calices and 12 minor calices
8 -32 weeks: Formation of new branches form 2x106 collecting ducts.

The tip of the collecting tubule induces the formation of renal vesicles
