2) aorta

23
Q

When do the kidneys reach the adrenal glands?

A

9th week

24
Q

During a kidney’s ascent, what happens if an artery is not obliterated before it receives the next segmental arterial supply?

A

accessory renal arteries

25
Q

What is the cause of renal agenesis?

A

early degeneration or failure of formation of the ureteric bud

26
Q

What does bilateral renal agenesis cause?

A

1) olilgohydramnios
2) pulmonary hypoplasia
3) fetal demise

27
Q

What is the cause of a supernumerary kidney?

A

development of two separate ureteric buds on a side

28
Q

What causes a bifid ureter?

A

early, incomplete division of the ureteric bud

29
Q

What causes a horseshoe kidney?

A

fusion of lower poles of the kidneys while still in the pelvis

30
Q

What structure interrupts the ascent of a horseshoe kidney?

A

inferior mesenteric artery

31
Q

from deep to superficial, what are the coverings of the kidney?

A

1) renal capsule
2) perirenal fat
3) renal fascia
4) pararenal fat
5) transversalis fascia

32
Q

Where is the hepatorenal recess?

A

superior to the right kidney

33
Q

What is another name for the hepatorenal recess? Which body position causes fluid to collect there?

A

1) Pouch of Morrison

2) body is supine

34
Q

sensory nerves from the kidneys travel back to the CNS with which nerves?

A

thoracic splanchnic

35
Q

What nerves form the renal plexus?

A

1) celiac ganglion/plexus
2) aorticorenal ganglion
3) least thoracic splanchnic nerves
4) first lumbar splanchnic nerve
5) aortic plexus
6) sympathetics from T11-L2

36
Q

Most renal nerves are which type?

A

vasomotor

37
Q

What does water under the bridge mean with respect to the ureters?

A

Ureters pass UNDER the uterine vessels or ductus deferens

38
Q

Where does the bladder reside when it is empty? When it is full?

A

1) true pelvis

2) protrudes into the abdominal cavity

39
Q

What supplies the blood of the urinary bladder?

A

superior and inferior vesicle arteries

40
Q

Where does lymph from the urinary bladder drain into?

A

external iliac nodes

41
Q

How is the urinary bladder attached to the umbilicus?

A

median umbilical fold

42
Q

What are the ligaments which hold up the bladder?

A

1) pubovesical and cardinal in women

2) puboprostatic and cardinal in men

43
Q

When does the bladder develop?

A

4-7 weeks

44
Q

What divides the cloaca into the rectal and urogenital canals?

A

urorectal septum

45
Q

What are the portions of the urogenital sinus?

A
