KUB, pelvis and repro Flashcards
how big is a normal kidney?
12 x 6 x 3
which kidney is lower?
the right is lower
the surface marking of the hilum of the kidney is ?
the transpyloric plane 5 cm from the midline
immediate posterior relation of the kidneys is? (4)
the costodiaphragmatic recess of the pleura
the ileohypogastric and ileoinjoinal nerves
psoas muscle
the subcostal artery nerve and vein after emerging through the lateral arcuate ligament
the shape of the right suprarenal gland is?
pyramidal
the location of the right suprarenal gland ?
upper pole of right kidney, behind the IVC and in front of the right crus of the diaphragm, and bare area of the liver
what shape is the left suprarenal gland?
cresentric shape
where can the left suprarenal gland be located
is applied to the medial border of the left kidney , above the hilum behind the peritoneum of the posterior wall of the lesser sac.
the transverslis fascia splits retroperitoneally into an anterior and posterior layer to form what?
gerotas fascia, ‘pre and retrorenal fascia’, fuses at the upper pole but ober inferiorly and medially.
how many minor calyces are there in a typical kidney ?
7-14
and 2- 3 major calyses
the anterior relations of the right kidney are (4)?
the right lobe of the liver, anteriroly
the hepatic flexure
the duodenum medially
what are the anterior relations of the left kidney ? (5)
tip of left lobe of liver anteriorly as well as fundus of stomach
tail of pancreas medially and anterirly
splenic flexure ant but infeorly
spleen laterally
how many degrees posterirly are the kidneys rotated ?
30 degrees
what are the names of the 4 anteriro renal arteries?
apical, upper, middle and lower (segmental branches) 70% f renal blodo flow
how many posterior segmental arteries are there in the kidney?
1
which is more anteriro? the renal artery or vein?
the vein
pus in the renal fascia can burst and track where?
retroperitoneally into the pelvis
how much blood does the kidney recieve every minute?
1L
the lymphatic drainage of the kidney is?
to the paraaortic nodes at the level of origin of the renal arteries. the surface fo the upper pole may drain through the diaphragm into nodes in the posterior mediastinum
how long is the ureter?
25 cm long
the 3 points of narrowing of the ureter are?
PUJ
crossign the pelvic rim
and the JUV termination in the bladder mucosa
on the psoas musle what is the orientation of these three structures? genitofemoral berve, ureter adn gonadal vessels.
the gonadal vessels are most anterior followed by the ureter then the genitofemoral nerve.
All under peritoneum
the root of the mesently ont he roght does cross it later downthe way
the left ureter is in what relation to the inferior mesenteric vessels?
to the left (lateral)
which vessel crosses the left ureter ?
And which part of the bowel just before entering the pelvis?
the left colic left lateral side
and the apex of the sigmoid
when does the ureter leave the psoas muscle?
at the bifurcation of the common iliac artery over the sacroiliac joint
on the left the apex of the sigmoid colon is the guide to then it eter the pelvis
the radiological marker of the ureter is the lumbar area is?
just medial to the tips of the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae
the blood supply to the ureter?
the upper end is supplied by the ureteric branch of the renal artery
the middle by gonadal and common iliac
and the lower end by branches from the inferior and superiro vesical and middle rectal arteries and uterine arteries.
all make anastomoses with eachother in the adventitia
