Term Name: pronephric duct
Synonyms: pronephric ducts
Definition: Duct of the embryonic kidney, present bilaterally ventral to the somites and leading to the cloacal chamber. Wingert et al. have suggested that the pronephric duct as described traditionally may consist of subregions which are analogous to portions of the tubule segment of mammalian and other fish nephrons.
Appears at: Segmentation:10-13 somites (14.0h-16.0h)
Evident until: Larval:Days 7-13 (168.0h-14d, 4.5mm, 8 teeth)
Ontology: Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0000150]
