mesoderm
At what spinal levels are the kidneys located?
T12 - L3
True or False. The kidneys help with production of RBCs
True
What’s blood supply and drainage to the kidneys?
renal a –> segmental a –> interlobar a –> arcuate a –> renal v
What is pararenal fat and perirenal fat?
pararenal - fat that is in its own compartment, before kindeys
perirenal - fat that surrounds the kidneys and fills the hilum as well
What is the sympathetic innervation to the kidneys?
T10 - L1
What is the parasympathetic innervation to the kidneys?
Vagus and S2 - S4
What’s the function of the cortex of suprarenal glands?
produce corticosteroids and androgens
What’s the function of medulla of suprarenal glands?
produce norepinephrine and epinephrine (fight or flight)
What is the blood supply to suprarenal glands?
1) superior suprarenal a (from inferior phrenic a)
2) middle suprarenal a (from aorta)
3) inferior suprarenal a (from renal a)
Presynaptic sympathetics penetrate directly to medulla of suprarenal glands and synapse on _____
chromaffin cells (homologous to sympathetic ganglion cells)
What type of nerve fibers are associated with blood cells that control vasodilation and vasoconstriction in suprarenal glands?
cortex
What is the major muscle used in inspiration?
diaphragm
What are the three hiatus of diaphragm?
1) caval hiatus

3) aortic hiatus
What comes out of the caval hiatus?
IVC
What comes out of the esophageal hiatus?
esophagus and Vagus
What comes out of the aortic hiatus?
aorta and thoracic duct
What innervates diaphragm (motor and sensory)?
C3, 4, 5 = phrenic n
What innervates the periphery of diaphragm?
intercostal nerves (sensory)
What is the blood supply to superior surface of diaphragm?
superior phrenic a from thoracic aorta
What is the blood supply to inferior surface of diaphragm?
inferior phrenic a from abdominal aorta
What ligament separates the diaphragm from quadratus lumborum?
