posterior abdomen exam 3 anatomy Flashcards
what surrounds the kidneys?
- paranephric fat
- renal fascia
- perinephric fat
what vertebral levels are the kidneys at?
T12-L3
what makes up the renal hilum?
renal vein
renal artery
renal pelvis
what is the pathway if urine towards the ureter?
- renal papillae
- minor calices
- major calices
- renal pelvis
anomalous kidneys
pelvic and horseshoe kidney
lymphatics of the kidney/adrenal glands
lumbar lymph nodes
PS innervation of the kidney
- pregang cb=brainstem
- pregang fibers=vagus
- post gang cb and fibers=wall of kidney
sympathetic kidney innervation
- pregang cb=lateral horn
- pregang fibers= ventral root> spinal nerve> ventral ramus>white ramus communicans>symp trunk> thoracic splanc nerve
- postgang cb and fibers=renal ganglion
sympathetic adrenal innervation
- pregang cb=lateral horn
- pregang fibers=ventral root > spinal nerve> ventral ramus > white ramus communicans > symp trunk > thoracic splanc nerve
- no synapse until signal gets to adrenal gland itself
thoracic splanc nerve
what does the abdominal aorta bifurcate into?
the common iliac arteries
paired arterial branches of posterior abdominal wall
- middle suprarenal arteries
- renal arteries
- inferior suprarenal arteries
- gonadal
- infeiror phrenic
~diaphragm
~superior suprarenal arteries - subcostal
- lumbar
blood supply of the adrenal glands
- superior suprarenal arteries (via inf phrenic artery)
- middle suprarenal arteries (via aorta)
- inferior suprarenal arteries (via renal artery)
abdominal aortic aneurysm
- An enlargement of the aorta, the main blood vessel that delivers blood to the body, at the level of the abdomen.
- 99% chance of death
the venous tributaries are parallel to aortic branches except…
left gonadal vein and hepatic vein
what do the hepatic veins do?
drain back clean blood to the vena cava
