Term
Are the kidneys intraperitoneal, secondarily or primarily retroperitoneal?
Definition
primarily retroperitoneal
Term
what are the layers around the kidney from superficial to deep?
Definition

paraneohric/pararenal fat

renal fascia

perinephric/perirenal fat

Term
what is the role of the renal fascia during infection?
Definition
helps prevent spread of pus/blood, but can act as a conduit between kidneys and pelvis
Term
describe the location of the kidneys
Definition

T12-L3

right kidney slightly lower than left

in upper right and left quandrants

Term
[image]
Definition

green- superior pole

blue-lateral border

yellow- inferior pole

purple- medial border w/ renal hilum

white- renal capsule

Term
what is entering/exiting the renal hilum most anteriorly?
Definition
renal vein
Term
what is entering/exiting the renal hilum most posteriorly?
Definition
renal pelvis which turns to the ureter
Term
what enters and exits the renal hilum?
Definition

renal vein- exiting

renal artery- entering

renal pelvis- exiting

Term
what is the outer part of the inside of the kidney?
Definition
renal cortex
Term
what is the middle part of the kidney?
Definition
renal medulla
Term
what part of the kidney has pyrimids and renal collumns?
Definition
the renal medulla
Term
trace the path of urine towards the ureter
Definition

renal papillae

minor calyx

major calyx

renal pelvis

ureter

Term
what is a pelvic kidney?
Definition
a kidney that doesnt ascend like normal during development, can be unilateral or bilateral
Term
what is a horseshoe kidney?
Definition
right and left kidney united at inferior pole, ascent stopped by IMA
Term
are ureters intraperitoneal, primarily or secondarily retroperitoneal?
Definition
primarily retroperitoneal
Term
how does urine move down the ureter?
Definition
peristaltic contractions
Term
where are the adrenal glands?
Definition

primarily retroperitoneal, on supermedial aspect of kidney

inside the renal fascia

in right and left upper quadrant

Term
trace the route of lymph from the kidneys/adrenal glands
Definition

to the lumbar lymph nodes along the aorta

chyle cistern

thoracic duct

Term
map the route of the prasympathetic innervation of the kidney
Definition

preganglioionc cell bodies- brain

preganglionic fibers- vagus nerve C X

post ganglionic cell bodies and fibers on kidneys

Term
map the route of the sympathetic innervation of the kidney
Definition

preganglionic cell bodies- lateral horn

ventral root

spinal nerve

ventral ramus

white ramus comunicans

sympathetic trunk

splanchnic (thoracic and lumbar) nerve

post ganglionic bodies: renal gangleion post ganglionic fibers:follow arterial branches

Term
map the route of sympathetic innervation of the adrenal glands
Definition

preganglionic cell bodies- lateral horn

preganglionic cell fibers- ventral root

spinal nerve

ventral ramus

white ramus comunicans

sypathetic trunk 

spanchnic nerve

post ganglionic cell bodies- secretory cells of arenal glands

Term

Definition

purple- celiac trunk

orange- SMA

black- IMA

green- middle suprarenal arteries

yellow-renal arteries

pink-gonadal arteries

light blue-lumbar arteries

Term
what arteries branch first off the abdominal aorta?
Definition
inferior phrenic to diaphragm and superior suprarenal
Term
why do some kidneys have extra arteries attached?
Definition
accessory renal arteries are due to failure of embryonic arteries to degenerate
Term
where do people run the risk of getting an aortic aneurysm?
Definition
right above where it bifurcates to the common illiac arteries at L4.  if not detected and ruptures it is fatal in 90%
Term
where do the common illiac veins join to form the IVC
Definition
L5
Term
in what ways do the tributaries to the IVC not match the branches of the abdominal aorta?
Definition

left gonadal vein drains into left renal vein

hepatic veins have not arterial equivalent

Term

Definition

purple-cuadratus lumborum

origination- 12th rib insertion- iliac crest

grey-psoas major

origination- lumbar vertebrae insertion with iliacus

yellow- iliacus

origination- iliac fossa insertion with psoas major on lesser trochanter of the femur

Term

Definition

green- subcostal

blue- illiohypogastric

pink- illioinguinal

yellow- genitofemoral

white- femoral nerve

purple- obturator nerve

Term
what goes through the caval opening of the diaphragm?
Definition
IVC at T8
Term
what goes through the esophageal hiatus in the diaphragm?
Definition
esophagus and CN X at T10
Term
what goes through the aortic hiatus in the diaphragm?
Definition
aorta thoracic duct and azygos vein at T12
