renal, endo and histo Flashcards
describe the order of vessels entering the kidney
renal vein, Renal artery, renal pelvis
coverings of the kidney
perinephric fat surrounds the kidneys and suprarenal glands. This is then encased is a renal fascia. External to this is the paranephric fat.
renal arteries arise at
L1/L2
which renal artery is longer?
right as it passes posterior to the IVC
which renal vein is longer
left, passes anterior to the aorta
location of the kidneys
T12-L3
peritoneal covering of the kidney
retroperitoneal
anterior relations of left kidney
stomach, spleen, jejunum and ascending colon
anterior relations of right kidney
liver, duodenum, ascending colon
posterior relations of the kidneys
quadratus lumborum, subcostal nerve, iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves
peritoneal covering of the ureter
retroperitoneal
constrictions of the ureter
constrictions; junction of the ureters and renal pelves, ureter cross the brim of the pelvic inlet over the external iliac artery, and as it passes through the wall of the urinary bladder.
trigone relations
angles are the ureteric orifices and internal urethral orifice.
walls of the bladder consist of
detrusor muscle
thyroid level
C5-T1
thyroid is connected to what?
cricoid cartilage by a dense fibrous capsule
superior thyroid artery arises from
external carotid
inferior thyroid artery arises from
thyrocervical trunk of subclavian
superior and middle thyroid veins drain into
IJV
inferior thyroid vein drains into
brachiocephalic
innervation of parathyroid and thyroid
cervical sympathetic ganglion
coverings of the supra renal glands
encased in connective tissue and considerable perinephric fat and enclosed by renal fascia attaching them to the crura of the diaphragm.
superior suprarenal artery arises from
inferior phrenic artery
middle suprarenal artery arises from
abdominal aorta near SMA origin
