suprarenal glands
The […] kidney sits slightly more superiorly than the […], because […]
left
right
the liver on the right takes up so much room that it pushes the right kidney a bit inferiorly
The kidneys and adrenals are […]peritoneal
Retro
Rib fractures of the […] could put the kidneys at risk for laceration
Posterior floating ribs
The subcostal is synonymous with the […]
Twelfth intercostal nerve
The kidney is surrounded by a layer of fat called the […] fat, which is surrounded by the […]. Posterior to this, bordering the transversalis fascia, is the […] fat.
Perirenal

Paranephric
- Blood supply to the kidney comes from the […], which branch off the […] just lateral to the […].
- The renal veins drain into the […], making the kidneys part of the systemic or […] system.
Renal arteries
Abdominal aorta
SMA
IVC

What is nutcracker syndrome?
What are the origins of the:
- Superior adrenal artery
- Middle adrenal artery
- Inferior adrenal artery
- Inferior phrenic arteries
- Abdominal aorta
- Renal arteries
The right adrenal drains directly into the […]. The left adrenal vein drains into the […].
IVC
left renal vein
What is adrenal venous sampling?
When is it done?
The ureters emerge from the […] and run inferiorly on either side of the […] and enter the bladder. They cross deep to the […], superficial to the […], and in people with testicles, deep to the […].
Renal hilum
Aorta
Gonadal arteries
Iliac vessels
Spermatic cord
Similar to the esophagus, there are four natural constrictions of the ureters.
- Where are the constrictions?
- What is the clinical significance?
- See image
- Kidney stones can be lodged in these constrictions during their descent, causing a great deal of pain.
