All are derivatives of ureteric bud EXCEPT
## Core Concept
The ureteric bud is an outgrowth of the Wolffian duct (mesonephric duct) that plays a crucial role in the development of the urinary system. It gives rise to the ureters, renal pelvis, calyces, and the collecting ducts of the kidneys. The question tests the understanding of embryological development of the urinary system.
## Why the Correct Answer is Right
The correct answer, , represents the renal pelvis or part of the collecting system which indeed develops from the ureteric bud. However, without specific details on each option, we focus on the general principle that derivatives of the ureteric bud include the ureters, renal pelvis, calyces, and collecting ducts. The exception would be structures not derived from the ureteric bud.
## Why Each Wrong Option is Incorrect
- **Option A:** If A represents a structure like the ureter or renal pelvis, it's incorrect because these are indeed derived from the ureteric bud.
- **Option B:** Similarly, if B represents another derivative like the calyces or collecting ducts, it's incorrect for the same reason.
- **Option D:** If D represents a part of the urinary system that develops from the ureteric bud, such as the ureter, it's also incorrect.
## Clinical Pearl / High-Yield Fact
A key point to remember is that the **metanephric kidney** (permanent kidney) develops from the interaction between the ureteric bud and the metanephric blastema (or metanephric mesenchyme), with the ureteric bud giving rise to the collecting system and the metanephric blastema giving rise to the nephrons.
## Correct Answer: D. Nephrons
