The ureteric diverticulum grows dorsally into the posterior region of the nephric ridge. Here it enlarges and stimulates the growth of metanephric tubules that come to make up the metanephric kidney. The metanephros becomes the adult kidney of amniotes, and the metanephric duct is usually called the ureter.[well established][VHOG] metanephric duct UMLS:C0041951 EFO:0000930 GAID:438 NCIT:C12416 FMA:9704 galen:Ureter in humans, consists of adventitial, muscular and mucoa layers MA:0000378 CALOHA:TS-1084 MESH:D014513 EHDAA:9341 Muscular duct that propels urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder, or related organs.
