| 1. | The urinary and reproductive organs are developed from the intermediate mesoderm.
|
| 2. | Nephric mesenchyme separates from the intermediate mesoderm as a single elongated primordia.
|
| 3. | The nephrogenic cords are bilateral condensations of the intermediate mesoderm.
|
| 4. | Adrenal cortex tissue is derived from the intermediate mesoderm.
|
| 5. | The pronephros develops from the intermediate mesoderm, as do the later kidneys.
|
| 6. | The reproductive organs are developed from the intermediate mesoderm.
|
| 7. | The intermediate mesoderm develops into kidneys and gonads.
|
| 8. | The mammalian kidney develops from intermediate mesoderm.
|
| 9. | However, a kidney primordium that runs along the intermediate mesoderm does form and links up to the cloaca.
|
| 10. | FGF8 in the intermediate mesoderm signals to the lateral mesoderm, restricting the expression of FGF10 through intermediate Wnt signals.
