Diagram shows the sequential development and degeneration of the pronephros and mesonephros, and the induction of the ureteric bud and metanephric mesenchyme during kidney development in mammals. The development of the kidney proceeds through a series of successive phases, each marked by the development of a more advanced kidney: the ...
