uraco
Sign in to saveThe urachus forms from the distal end of the allantois in the embryo, and develops into a closed cord between the base of the bladder, and the navel. It drains the bladder of the fetus that joins and runs within the umbilical cord. The fibrous remnant lies in the space of Retzius, between the transverse fascia anteriorly and the peritoneum posteriorly. At birth, the urachus develops into the median umbilical ligament.

L'uraco è un tratto delle vie urinarie del feto che connette la vescica al cordone ombelicale e facente parte dell'allantoide. Si oblitera alla fine del terzo mese di gravidanza, diventando, nell'individuo adulto, un cordone fibroso identificato con il legamento ombelicale medio, che sospende la vescica alla parete anteriore dell'addome.
