59
Q

where does the left renal vein travel?

A

Passes anterior to abdominal aorta and inferior to SMA

60
Q

what does the left renal vein drain into? what type of drainage is that?

A

drains into the left adrenal gland and left gonad

indirect drainage

61
Q

in the hilum of the kidneys what sits anterior to the other vein or artery?

A

veins are anterior to artery

62
Q

what is the ureter?

A

retroperitoneal tube

63
Q

what is the function of the ureter?

A

Conveys urine from kidney to urinary bladder

64
Q

how does the ureter travel in the posterior abdominal wall?

A

Descends through the abdomen anterior to psoas muscle

65
Q

what does the ureter cross underneath? what does it enter?

A

crossed underneath of the gonadal vein and A.

will enter the pelvis between the common iliac bifurcation

66
Q

what is horseshoe kidney?

A

o Congenital abnormality

Inferior pulls of the kidneys during fetal development causes them to get pulled together

67
Q

what population is more prone to horseshoe kidney?

A

men

68
Q

where will the horseshoe kidney be located?

A

sits much lower than regular kidneys due to presence of IMA which will prevent its ascent

69
Q

how is the vasulature in donor kidneys re-anastamosed?

A

re-anastamosed to the iliac vessels, ureter is attached to the bladder

70
Q

what happens to the degenerating kidney during kidney transplant?

A

it is not removed as this would lead to a much more invasive surgery

71
Q

where are the adrenal glands located?

A

above the kidneys

72
Q

what type of organ is the adrenal gland?

A

• Retroperitoneal endocrine organ

73
Q

what is the adrenal gland surrounded by?

A

renal fascia

74
Q

how are the adrenal glands structured?

A

capsule
cortex
medulla

75
Q

what supplies arteriole blood to the adrenal glands

A
  • superior suprarenal A
  • middle suprarenal A
  • inferior suprarenal A

indirect drainage

80
Q

what does the right suprarenal vein drain into?

directly into the IVC

81
Q

why is there sometimes indirect venous drainage?

adrenaline
aldosterone
cortisol (AAC)

83
Q

what forms the IVC?

A

right and left common iliac V

IVC is found on the right

aorta on the left

87
