Bowman’s corpuscle is derived from:
Correct Answer: Mesonephros
Description: The mesonephros and mesonephric ducts are derived from intermediate mesoderm from upper thoracic to upper lumbar (L3) segment. Early in the fouh week of development, during regression of the pronephric system, the first excretory tubules of the mesonephros appear. They lengthen rapidly, form an S-shaped loop, and acquire a tuft of capillaries that will form a glomerulus at their medial extremity. Around the glomerulus, the tubules form Bowman's capsule, and together these structures constitute a renal corpuscle. Laterally, the tubule enters the longitudinal collecting duct known as the mesonephric or wolffian duct Ref: Langman's embryology 11th edition Chapter 15.
