Sievert- Posterior Abdominal Wall Flashcards
What are all the primary retroperitoneal structures?
Urinary system Adrenal glands Sympathetic trunk and its branches to ganglia Thoracic duct/cisterna chyli Posterior abdominal wall Aorta and IVC Rectum
All the lymphatics from the gut drain ultimately to the (blank).
thoracic duct
The (blank) is where the thoracic duct has a dilation where all the lymphatics form the gut join together.
cisternae chyli
The rectum is both (blank) and (blank)
retroperitoneal
subperitoneal (distal 2/3rds)
2 layers of peritoneum with nerve fibers and blood vessels constitute a (Blank)
ligament
The (blank) makes up the anterior surface of the lesser sac
lesser omentum
Which kidney is lower?
right
The (blank) come off the aorta near the SMA and divide into anterior and posterior segmental branches as they reach the hilum.
renal arteries
These may have polar arteries on either pole due to developmental differences?
renal arteries
what does the blood supply to the ureter?
the renal, gonadal and vesicular arteries, illiac
What are the three sites of potential narrowing of the ureter?
transit from pelvis to ureter
pelvic brim
enrtance to the bladder
The ureter enters the bladder (blank
diagonlly
What is the innervation to the ureter?
T11-L2
What is the innervation to the kidney?
Parasympathetics S2-4 (pelvic) and Vagus
Sympathetics- thoracic splachnic nerves (lesser and least) and lumbar splachnics
Where do the sympathetics to the ureter synapse?
ganglia (aorticorenal,small ganglia on the renal artery and SMA)
Where do the parasympathetics synapse?
in renal sinu
The sensory fibers from the kidney return via the (blank) and (blank)
vagus and sympathetics
Sensory fibers from the ureters can travel similiar to he kidneys, but also return to DRGs; via (blank) spinal nerves, hence the changes that occur in pain as a (blank) moves along the ureter
T12-L2
renal calculus
(blank) Are only anatomically, not developmentally related to the kidney
suprarenal glands
(blank) is an endocrine gland
suprarenal glands
What is the blood supply to the adrenal gland?
Superior suprarenal off inferior phrenic
Middle suprarenal directly off the aorta
Inferior suprarenal off the renal
What is the venous drainage of the adrenal glands?
Venous drainage comes from signal vein. On the left you might have a branch that goes into renal vein. But both eventually go to IVC. Right typically just goes straight into IVC
What is the innervation to the adrenal glands?
Sympathetic fiber that enters adrenal medulla, enter as a preganglionic fiber
Adrenal cortex has postganglionic fibers
(blank) fibers innervate secretory cells of the adrenal medulla
preganglionic sympathetic
The cells of the adrenal medulla will respond to stimulation of preganglionic by …….
secreting secreting epinephrine and norepinephrine for a systemic sympathetic response
What thoracic splachnic enters the adrenal medulla?
greater thoracic through celiac ganglion
(blank) arise from the superior hypogastric
plexus and supply the inferior plexus
with 90% of the sympathetics to the pelvis. The remaining 10% come from sacral splanchnics.
hypogastric nerves
hypogastric nerves arise from the (Blank) and supply the inferiorplexus with 90% of the sympathetics to the pelvis. THe remaining 10% comes from (blank)
hypogastric plexus
sacral splachnics
What innervates the infeiror plexus?
90% hypogastric nerves from superior hypogastic plexus
10% sacral splachnics
How can you differentiate between parasympathetics and sympathetics?
Sympathetics have to come from sympathetic chain
Parasympathetics come off the spinal cord (S2-4) and innervate the GI structures in the abdominal cavity.
The anterior and posterior vagal
Trunks course onto the anterior and posterior surfaces of the (blank) at its junction to the cardiac stomach.
