Mouse cloacal septation

Time-line of normal cloacal partitioning in the mouse.

  • E10 - the ventral part of the cloaca (cl) extends rostrally to give rise to the embryonic urogenital sinus and the primordium of the bladder (bl).
  • E12 - Bmp7 expression appears in the dorsal genital mesenchyme (gm).
  • E14 - Bmp7 expression in the URM shifts to the ventral portion of the genital tubercle (dashed arrow).

blue - Domains of Bmp7 expression in the urorectal mesenchyme (URM), urethral plate (up), and genital ectoderm (ge).

green - Cloacal endoderm.
