Q

What is found posterior to the kidneys?

A

18
Q

Name the 5 internal structure of the kidney

A

Renal Cortex
Renal Medulla
Minor /Mjr calyces (minor come together to make major)
Renal pelvis

19
Q

What is the renal cortex?

A

Cortex is the interior covering. It has noticable columns (renal columns)

20
Q

What is the renal medulla?

A

Pyramid-looking part. Starts out wide against the cortex, and ends narrower at the minor calyces

21
Q

What are minor & calyces?

A

Each renal medulla pyramid narrows and ends at its own minor calyce. The minor calyces all join together toward the middle of the kidney to form the major calyx.

22
Q

What is the renal pelvis?

A

Toward the middle of the body, a part of the major calyx where structures empty into it

23
Q

Where does the renal artery branch from?

A

Aorta

24
Q

What are all of the branches of the renal artery?

A

Divides into 5 segmental arteries-> lobar arteries -> 2-3 interlobar arteries -> arcuate arteries-> interlobular arteries

25
Q

The renal artery divides into:

A

5 segmental arteries

26
Q

The 5 segmental arteries do/become what?

A

They actually enter the kidney and are now called the 5 Lobar arteries

27
Q

Each Lobar artery becomes

A

2-3 interlobar arteries

28
Q

What do interlobar arateries do?

A

Run down renal columns of the renal cortex.

29
Q

Where does the arcuate artery run? What does it become?

A

Near the top of the kidney. It becomes interlobular arteries

30
Q

Which renal artery is longer? Why?

A

Right renal artery. Due to the aorta being measurably closer to the left kidney

31
Q

Each renal vein connects to __. What’s different about each renal vein though?

A

IVC. The Left renal vein is a longer length (position of the IVC), It receives the L suprarenal vein and L gonadal vein. The right renal vein does not receive these right veins

32
Q

Suprarenal =

A

Adrenal glands

33
Q

What are the 3 arteries to the Suprarenal glands? Where does each branch from?

A
  1. Superior suprarenal artery - from Superior phrenic artery (branches off aorta right above celiac trunk, runs lateral (Superior suprarenal arteries branch), then runs up
  2. Middle suprarenal artery - from the aorta
  3. Inferior suprarenal artery - from the right renal artery (that comes off the aorta)
34
Q

What innervates the kidney? Where does it come from? What does it do?

A

Renal nerve plexus. Arises from splanchnic nerves. Mainly sympathetic stimulation.

35
Q

3 constrictions of the ureters?

A

Renal pelvis meets the ureter
At the pelvic brim
(At the bifurcation of the common iliac arteries)
At junction with the bladder

36
Q

Arterial supply of the proximal ureter

A

renal artery

37
Q

Arterial supply of the middle ureter

A

Ovarian/testicular artery

38
Q

Arterial supply of the distal ureter

A

Superior vesical artery (branch off common iliac arteries)

39
Q

What innervates nerve plexuses?

A

Renal & hypogastric nerve plexus. ANS

40
Q

What does a stone do?

A

increases lumen size.

41
Q

Renal cholera causes pain where?

A

T10-L2

42
Q

This deck is incomplete

A

Complete it, slide 17 or so and on
