Q

Describe the route of the teste:

A

Start at the extra peritoneal fat in the poster lumbar region inside the abdominal cavity
Travel to the deep ring which is located in the aponeurosis of the transversis abdominis, half way between the ASIS and the pubic tubercle, a finger’s width above the inguinal ligament
Enter the inguinal canal
Travel down the canal and out the superficial ring (the triangle structure)
Go into the scotum

Q

What is the lateral edge of psoas major like?

A

straight but oblique

30
Q

Can you see the lateral edge of the psoas major on x-ray?

A

yes, abdominal x-ray

31
Q

Which vertebrae is psoas major originate?

A

inferior border of T12 to upper L5

32
Q

Along T12 to L5, psoas major also attaches to what along the way?

A

discs and the vertebral bodies

33
Q

Where does psoas major insert?

A

with iliacus via conjoined tendon into the lesser trochanter

34
Q

What are located behind the psoas? within the psoas? and in front of the psoas?

A

behind: lumbar vessels off of aorta
within: lumbar plexus, L1-4 ventral ramus
in front: sympathetic trunks

35
Q

how many people have psoas minor?

A

2/3rds of population

36
Q

Where is the origin and insertion of psoas minor?

A

origin: T12/L1

inserts with periosteum of pelvis

37
Q

Where does QL originate?

A

tip of lumbar transverse processes, inferior aspect of T12

38
Q

Where does QL insert?

A

top of iliac crest

39
Q

What does QL do?

A

stabilizer and flexor of spine

40
Q

iliacus fills in what?

A

fills in the smooth iliac fossa

41
Q

Where does is insert?

A

converges with psoas into the lesser trochanter

42
Q

Does iliacus psoas and QL all have their own fascia?

A

Iliacus and psoas does

QL does not

43
Q

Where is QL’s fascia?

A

within anterior compartment of thoracolumbar fascia

44
Q

How many compartments in thoracolumbar fascia?

A

3
anterior
middle
posterior

45
Q

Where does the posterior thoracolumbar fascia extend?

A

neck to sacrum

46
Q

Where does the anterior and middle thoracolumbar fascia extend?

A

only in thoracolumbar region

47
Q

how do you get a psoas abcess?

A

from TB when it’s in the bone, it can burst through but wont’ pierce lumbar fascia, it just runs down the psoas fascia and presents in the hip.

48
Q

thoracolumbar fascia is origin for what muscles?

A

internal oblique

transversus abdominis

49
Q

where in the peritoneum is the kidney?

A

retroperitoneal

50
Q

Kidneys are on which muscle?

51
Q

kidneys are in the paravertebral gutter between which vertebrae?

52
Q

Which kidney is lower? why?

A

right due to liver pushing down on it

53
Q

what’s the best approach surgically to get to kidneys?why?

A

posterior or lateral approach both extraperitoneal

54
Q

Dimensions of kidney?

A

10x5x2.5cm

55
Q

Which adrenal gland is a party hat/pyramidal?

56
Q

what is surrounded by its own fibrous capsule, surrounded by fat, then enclosed by peri-renal fat, then extra peritoneal fat?

57
Q

outer cortex of kidney is continuous or discontinuous?

A

continuous

58
Q

inner medulla of kidney is continuous or discontinuous?

A

discontinuous medullary pyramids with apex towards hilum

59
Q

Describe vessels front to back at the hilum of kidney.

A

renal vein
renal artery
uretery pelvis
nerves&lymphatics

60
Q

What’s in the renal sinus?

61
Q

would you want an artery in front of a vein?

A

nope, it will compress it otherwise

62
Q

renal artery path from aorta?

A

behind the IVC

63
Q

Renal artery divides into how many segments?

A

5 functional segments so surgical resection is possible if needed

64
Q

Can you have more than one artery supplying the kidney?

A

in rare cases if in utero development, it doesn’t shed the accessory arteries as it moves, it could persist into adulthood

65
Q

Where do the renal veins drain?

66
Q

What is path of right and left renal veins into IVC?

A

Right: straight in
Left: over the aorta, with superior mesenteric artery

67
Q

Trace the main pathway of structures from cortex to ureter

A

Cortex>medulla>minor calyces>major calyces>renal pelvis>ureter

68
Q

how long are ureters and are they muscular?

A

yes muscular

25-30cm long

69
Q

Which muscle does the ureters it on?

A

psoas major

70
Q

how do ureters get blood supply?

A

pick up arteries along the way

71
Q

Where are the 3 places you can get kidney stones stuck in the ureter?

A
  1. uretopelvic junction
  2. crossing of iliac artery
  3. uretero-vesical junction
