A

renal pyramids: contain distal parts of the collecting ducts

apex of pyramid: open into minor calyx

31
Q

Loops of Henle:

A

straight part of the uriniferous tubules

extend into the renal columns between the pyramids

32
Q

renal pelvis:

A
  • upper part of the ureter
  • formed by 3-4 major calyces
  • 2-4 minor calyces form a major
33
Q

Where do renal artery/vein originate?

A
  • aorta at L2
  • right artery passes posterior to IVC,
  • veins empty into IVC at L2
  • left vein passes anterior to aorta (just inferior to SMA)
34
Q

branches of renal arteries:

A
  • interlobar arteries branch into arcuate arteries between medulla and cortex which go back to interlobar which give rise to afferent arterioles of glomerulus
  • blood leave glom via efferent arteries
35
Q

kidney innervation:

A

-preganglionic sympathetic axons from the lower thoracic/lumbar splanchnic nerves from T11 and 12 spinal cord segments

these synapse in the aorticorenal ganglia, postganglionic sympathetic axons go to the arteries in the kidney and control arterial blood flow to glomeruli

36
Q

What kind of organ are kidneys?

A

retroperitoneal

37
Q

left renal vein connections:

A
  • left suprarenal

- left gonadal

38
Q

ureters

A

  • descend anterior to psoas major
  • at the pelvic brim lies between external and internal iliac arteries
39
Q

blood supply to the ureters:

A
  • upper 1/3: renal
  • middle 1/3: common iliac
  • lower 1/3: superior vesical artery
40
Q

adrenal glands:

A
  • endocrine organs that are primarily retroperitoneal

- contain cortex and 3 zones

41
Q

3 zones of the adrenal glands:

A
  • zona glomerulosa: aldosterone
  • zona fasciculate: glucocorticoids
  • zona reticularis: reproductive steroids
42
Q

medulla of adrenal glands:

A
  • contain chromafin cells (derived from NCC) and secrete epi/n-epi
  • innervated by preganglionic sympathetic axons (reach through lower thoracic splanchnic nerves)
43
Q

adrenal blood supply:

A
  • adrenal arteries (branch from renal arteries, aorta, and the inferior phrenic arteries)
  • drained by single vein: right adrenal directly to IVC, left to the renal vein
44
Q

abdominal aorta:

A
  • begins at the aortic hiatus (T12)

48
Q

IVC location:

A

L5

-ascends to the right of the midline

Right: renal, adrenal, gonadal veins drain

Left: only renal

49
Q

Collateral routes for venous blood to pass if IVC obstructed:

A
  • bypass the IVC through anastomoses in the abdomen/pelvis that allow blood to reach the superficial epigastric and inferior epigastric veins which drain into the axillary and subclavian veins
  • bypass via lateral thoracic vein which connects the circumflex iliac to axillary
  • bypass through anastomoses between the epidural venous plexus and azygos/hemiazygos
  • allows for passes if occlusion below L2 but also serve to metastasize tumors
50
Q

Nerves of the posterior abdominal wall:

A
  • lumbar plexus forms by ventral rami of L1-4 (some from T12)
  • ventral rami branch into anterior and posterior regions which form 2 main nerves: femoral and obturator
51

  • posterior ventral rami branch from L2, 3, 4

- innervates muscles of the thigh and skin

52
Q

obturator nerve:

A
  • anterior L2, 3,4 ventral rami

- medial thigh muscles

53
Q

subcostal nerve:

A
  • inferior to the 12th rib

- innervates abdominal muscles and skin

57
Q

lateral femoral cutaneous nerve:

A

-goes into ASIS

58
Q

three vascular fetal shunts:

A
  • ductus venosus: oxygenated blood in the umbilical vein bypasses the liver - straight to IVC
  • foramen ovale: goes straight from right atrium to the left atrium (pulmonary bypass)
  • ductus arteriosus: shunts deoxy blood from pulmonary trunk into aorta

**unlike left (high) - right pressure gradient in adults, fetal circulation has a right - left pressure gradient

59
Q

closure of the fetal shunts:

A

-due to changes in the pressure gradient/oxygen tensions

60
Q

remnants of fetal circulation:

A
  • fossa ovalis (foramen ovale)
