Anatomy Flashcards
__+__ = upper urinary tract
kidneys
ureter
__+__ = lower urinary tract
bladder
urethra
kidneys and proximal ureters lie in __
retroperitoneum in abdomen
part of urinary tract in pelvis
distal ureters
bladder
prox urethra
part urinary tract in perineum
distal urethra
anterior to posterior in front of kidney = visceral peritoneum > __>__>__>renal capsule
paranephric fat
renal/deep fascia
perinephric fat
muscle lying medial to kidneys
psoas
muscle lying posterior to kidneys
quadratus lumborum
muscles of the anterolateral abdo wall that lie lateral to kidney
external and internal obliqe
transversus abdominis
right kidney lies lateral to __ vertebrae
L1-3
left kidney lies lateral to ___ vertebrae
T12-L2
on inspiration the kidneys ascend/descend
descend
normal length and width of a kidney
length = 12cm wide = 6cm
anatomical relations of the right kidney
posterior to liver (+hepatorenal recess)
2nd part of duodenum
ascending colon
R colic flexure
Left kidney lies posterior to ++__+_
stomach
pancreas tail
spleen hilum
splenic vessels
anterior to posterior in renal hilum
renal vein
renal artery
ureter
common iliac arteries lie ant/post to common iliac veins
ant
abdo aorta bifurcates at the level of the
umbilicus
ureteric blood supply is from branches of (5)
AA internal iliac common iliac vesical renal
kidneys drain to __ nodes
lumbar
ureters drain to + nodes
lumbar
iliac
if renal stenosis is combined with a infrarenal AAA the cause of both is likely to be __
atherosclerosis
renal stenosis can be caused by ___ AAA because it __
suprarenal
occludes the proximal renal artery
nephrons run axially towards the __ of renal pyramid
apex
3 ureteric constrictions
pelviureteric junction
when crosses anterior aspect of common iliac artery
ureteric orifice at bladder
urine backpressure causes nephrons to be compressed => renal failure and capsule stretches painfully
kidney becomes palpable and enlarged =
hydronephrosis
false pelvis =
iliac crests to pelvic inlet - part of abdo cavity
true pelvis
pelvic inlet to pelvic floor
ureters pass __ to common iliac vessels to enter ___ > run __ along lateral wall of __ > at level of ___ turn medially to enter ___
entire route is ___
in ___ direction
anterior pelvis anteriorly pelvis ischial spine posterior bladder sub-peritoneal inferomedial
pelvic ureters lie where in relation to uterine tubes and uterine artery?
inferior
pelvic ureters lie where in relation to vas deferens
inferior
arteries that supply the pelvic organs in Females
internal iliac -> vesical arteries, middle rectal, vaginal and uterine
