Uberon definition : Muscular duct that propels urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder, or related
organs.;
Uberon related term : metanephric duct;
Uberon Homology note : The first embryonic hint of a metanephros is the formation of the metanephric duct
that appears as a ureteric diverticulum arising at the base of preexisting mesonephric
duct. The ureteric diverticulum grows dorsally into the posterior region of the nephric
ridge. Here it enlarges and stimulates the growth of metanephric tubules that come
to make up the metanephric kidney. The metanephros becomes the adult kidney of amniotes,
and the metanephric duct is usually called the ureter.[well established][VHOG];
Uberon Structure note : in humans, consists of adventitial, muscular and mucoa layers;
