Anatomy Flashcards
true/false - kidney and proximal ureters are retroperitoneal
true
what abdo wall muscles lie lateral to the kidneys
external/internal oblique
describe the contents of the renal hilum and their relations to each other
renal artery posterior
renal vein anterior
ureter inferior
what abdo wall muscles lie deep to the kidney
quadratus lumborum
psoas major
what is the relevance of muscle guarding to the kidneys
acts to protect the kidneys
what spinal level does the right kidney sit
L1-L3
what spinal level does the left kidney sit
T12-L2
what ribs offer protection to the kidneys and what is a potential issue
ribs 11-12
rib fractures can cause laceration to the kidneys
approx size of a normal kidney
12x6cm
anatomical relationships of the right kidney to other organs
posterior to liver and hepatorenal recess
2nd part duodenum
ascending colon
right colic flexure
anatomical relationships of the left kidney to other organs
stomach
splenic hilum
splenic vessels
tail of pancreas
what lymph nodes do the kidneys drain to
lumbar
what lymph nodes do the ureters drain to
lumbar and iliac
what is found in the renal medulla
renal pyramds
contains nephrons
describe drainage of the kidney
collecting ducts converge to minor calyx, then to major calyx, then to renal pelvis and ureter
the constriction between the renal pelvis and the ureter is known as?
pelviureteric junction
name 3 sites of anatomical constriciton in the ureter
pelviureteric junction
ureter crossing ant aspect common iliac and pelvic rum
ureteric orifice
describe the passage of urine through the ureters
flows through by peristaltic waves
consequences of any ureter/bladder obstruction
back pressure either unilaterla or bilateral to kidneys
this continues until pressure exceseds filtration pressure wothin glomerulus
this leads to hydronephrosis and renal failure
boundaries of the false pelvis?
iliac crests to pelvic inlet
boundaries of the true pelvis?
pelvic inlet to pelvic floor
name a muscle of the pelvic floor
levator ani
openings of the pelvic floor in men and women?
men have 2 - urethra, anus
women have 3 - urethra, vagina, anus
describe the passage of the ureters from kidney to bladder
travel down false pelvis and pass ant to common iliac to enter true pelvis
turns medially at ischial spine and enters bladder posteroinferior
how does the ureter relate anatomically to the vas deferens
inferior to vas deferens
how does the ureter relate anatomically to the uterine artery and tubes
runs inferior, water under the bridge
what arteries in women arise from the internal iliac within the pelvis
vesical
uterine
midline rectal
vaginal
what arteries in men arise from the internal iliac within the pelvis
prostatic
vesical
middle rectal
what is the hepatorenal recess
most dependent part of the abdominal cavity when the patient is lying on back
most inferior part of the peritoneum in men?
rectovesical pouch
most inferior part of the peritoneum in women
there is two
pouch of douglas is deeper and is the rectouterine
vesicouterine is less deep
what is the trigone
two ureteric orifices and the internal ureteric orifice form a triangular patch on posterior bladder
what muscle makes up the wall of the bladder
detrustor muscle
what special sphincter is present in the male bladder and what is its function
internal urethral sphincter, formed from thickening of detrusor
prevents retrograde ejactulation
anatomical relations of the male bladder
prostate inferior
rectum posterior
