Renal Anatomy and Histology - Brauer Flashcards
Transpyloric Plane
L1 or spinous process of T12
superior to left hilum
through right kidney superior pole
inferior pole of the right kidney
one index finger width from the superior iliac crest
ureter travels how
out from hilum
over the common iliac, beginning of external iliac
into bladder
common constriction points on the ureter
where stones can form more
1. uretopelvic junction (just leaving hilum)
2 over the common/ beginning of external iliac
3. uretovesical junction (entrance to bladder)
Renal Blood supply in order to Glomerular capillaries
- Aorta
- Renal A
- Segmental A
- Interlobar A (between pyramids in cortex)
- Arcuate A
- Interlobular A (ascending to branch)
- AFFERENT ARTERIOLE
- Glomerular capillaries
Renal Blood supply in order from Glomerular capillaries
- Glomerular Capillaries
- EFFERNT ARTERIOLE
- PERITUBULAR CAPILLARIES
- VASA RECTA
- interlobular veins
- arcuate veins
- interlobar vein
- Renal vein
- IVC
Kindney nerve supply
PARA and SYMPA
SYMPA: AORTICORENAL GANLION * (T10- T12), lesser and least splanchnic nerves
PARA: CN10
Cortex has what structures
- Renal Corpuscles (glomerulus)
- Convoluted tubule
- Straight tubule
- CD
Medulla has what structures
- renal columns and pyramids
Cortical (Medullary) rays
CDs and straight tubules running in the cortex
Renal intertitium
fibroblasts making erythropoietin (based on O2 levels)
uriniferous tubule
carries urine
NEPHRON + CD in the medullary ray
nephron consists of
renal corpuscle (glomerulus) renal tubules
cortical and medullary CDs are what
final urine collectors
Glomerular capillary is like what
- fenestrated and truly open pores (no diaphragm covering it)
- AQP-1 aquaporins
- secrete NO and PGE
- Glycocaylx
Bowman’ scapsule layers
- Parietal simple squamous
- visceral layer (podocytes) on top of the capillaries
- glomerular space = ultrafiltrate
glomerular filtration 3 layers
- Glomerular capillary endothelium
- 3 layes of BM
- Podocytes
Podocytes are like what
filtration slits that are sensitive to charge and size (40mn)
has NEPHRIN* (charge selection)
Glomerular BM has what important things
selective for charge and size (70mn) also
heparin sulfate
X ALBUMIN or CELLS
between the parietal layer and the visceral later of the renal corpuscle is what
the glomerular space = urine collects
