Abstract:
Objective To analyse the development of mouse kidney. Method Sterological methods were used in this study.Results The nephrogenic zone appeared in 14th day's kidney of the fetus development, medulla could be found in the late stage of fetus development kidney and developed after birth. Inner medulla were observed on 21st day after birth, nephrogenic zone disappeared on 7th day after birth. Morphometric analysis proves that medulla developed mainly after birth, cortex volume also developed rapidly after birth, especially after 21st day postnatally, the development of corpuscle number was finished before 7th day postnatally. Conclusion The development of mouse kidney begins on 14th day of embryo and stops on 21st day after birth, the period of the medulla development is between E 18 days and 21 days after birth.
