renal/urinary system
• dilated at E17.5
|
• at E17.5
|
• profound at birth
• detectable at E17.5 but not at E15.5 or E16.5
|
small kidney
(
J:187117
)
• at E17.5
|
• at E17.0 the ureters are dilated, convoluted, fluid-filled and increased in length
• subepithelial ureteral mesenchymal cells are absent at E16.5 - E18.5
|
• decrease in proliferation of the ureteric epithelium at E15.5
|
• thinner layers of urothelium and mesenchyme at E17.0
|
• at E16.0
• more severe in the proximal region than in the distal region
|
hydroureter
(
J:187117
)
• profound at birth
• prominent and bilateral at E17.5
|
• the very distal segment of the ureter is extremely narrow and the distance between the two ureteral orifices is significantly shorter compared to controls at E15.5 and E16.5
