Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kidneys develop from urogenital ridges. The metanephric ducts will become the ureters, not the urethras. The pronephros, the first tubule system, forms during the fourth week of gestation, not the tenth. The mesonephros is a temporary kidney that is replaced by the metanephros.
