Q

pararenal fat

A

-superficial protective layer

19
Q

blood supply to kidneys

A

abdominal aorta branches into renal artery

20
Q

venous drainage of kidneys

A

renal veins drain into IVC

21
Q

renal arteries

A

R & L renal arteries (left is shorter than right)

22
Q

renal veins

A

R & L renal veins (right is shorter than left)

23
Q

vessels in the hilum of the kidney

A

renal artery, renal vein, ureter

24
Q

how to differentiate between anterior and posterior kidney

A

look at the ureter
**ureter exits from posterior kidney

25
2 main components of the kidneys
cortex & medulla
26
cortex of the kidnyes
-outer component -main filtering area
27
Medulla
-many columns and tubes -beginning of urine production
28
minor calyx
tubes that gather urine from renal papilla and merge to form major calyx
29
pathway of urine
1. renal pyramid 2. renal papilla 3. Minor calyx 4. Major calyx 5. renal pelvis 6. ureter
30
Adrenal glands (suprarenal glands)
-endocrine organs -produce hormones -retroperitoneal
31
location of adrenal glands
-sit directly superior to kidneys
32
what hormones do the adrenal glands produce
adrenaline, cortisol, aldsterone
33
3 inner layers of cortex of adrenal glands
1. Zona Glomerulosa 2. Zona Fasciculata 3. Zona Reticularis
34
Zona Glomerulosa
outermost layer, secretes hormones (aldostrone to regulate BP)
35
Zona Fasciculata
middle layer, secretes cortisol
36
Zona Reticularis
innermost layer, synthesizes weak androgens
37
3 main branches for BS to the adrenal glands
1. Superior Suprarenal arteries 2. Middle suprarenal artery 3. Inferior Suprarenal artery
38
superior suprarenal arteries extend
from inferior phrenic artery
39
middle suprarenal artery extends
directly from abdominal aorta
40
inferior suprarenal artery extends
from renal artery
41
direct VD of adrenal glands
drains directly into the IVC on the riht side
42
VD of adrenal glands
asymmetrical (direct on right side, indirect on left)
43
indirect VD of adrenal glands
drains in to left renal vein and then into IVC
