Uberon definition : In mammals, the pronephros is the first of the three embryonic kidneys to be established
and exists only transiently. In lower vertebrates such as fish and amphibia, the pronephros
is the fully functional embryonic kidney and is indispensible for larval life[GO].;
Uberon synonym : pronephric kidney;
Uberon related term : archinephron; embryonic kidney; pronephron;
Uberon Homology note : In all vertebrate embryos, the kidney begins with the differentiation of a few renal
tubules from the anterior end of the nephric ridge overlying the pericardial cavity.
