Uberon definition : An epithelial swelling on the Wolffian duct that elongates to invade the adjacent
metanephric mesenchyme[MP];
Uberon related term : ureteric ampulla; ureteric diverticulum; metanephric diverticulum; metanephric bud; diverticulum;
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];
