The ureteric bud, also known as the metanephrogenic diverticulum, is a protrusion from the mesonephric duct during the development of the urinary and reproductive organs. It later develops into a conduit for urine drainage from the kidneys, which, in contrast, originate from the metanephric blastema.
It is also sometimes called the "mesonephric diverticulum".
