Q

Kidneys location?

A

retroperitoneal. embedded in perineal fat which iin turn is then embedded in FIBROUS renal fascia. Right kidney is 1cm lower and more lateral than left (liver). Superior pole slightly closer to midline.

Q

Kidney internal structure.

A

Nephrons (corpuscle - dilture urine, tubules - conc. urine), COllecting ducts (through cortex, medulla and pyramid to papilla). Then empty into minr caylx, (7-13)–> major caylx (2-3) –> pelvis (extendsd to outside hilum - to inf borders) –> carrows and becomes ureter.

Q

Ureters locatino?

A

25-30cm long - vertically from transpyloric plane, across psoas & around wall of lesser pelvis to level of pubic tubercles where they enter base of bladder

16
Q

Bladder surfaces

A

Superior - with PERITONEUM
apex - directed anterosuperiorly - extending into median umbilical lig. (urachus) which ascends on anterior abdom wall to umb. (remmnant of allantois)
two inferolateral sides - embedded in retropubic fat
base/fundus & neck - lowest part, opens into urethra. in males neck is in contact with base of prostate

17
Q

Bladder relations

A

Superior - small intestine, sigmoid colon, uterus in female
LATERAL -retropubic fat
Posterior - male: seminal vesicles, ampulla, retrovesicular pouch, rectum. female: uterovesicular pouch, cervix, upper vagina

18
Q

Bladder internal features

A
  • transitional epithelium on interlacing smooth detrussor muscle in bladder walls. folded mucosa when bladder empty, smooths out as fills. TRIGONE at internal base of bladder - marked by openings of ureters and urethra.
19
Q

What muscle is found in the bladder wall? what kiind of muscle?

A

detrussor. smooth.

20
Q

What epithelium is found in the bladder?

A

transitional epithelium

21
Q

What marks the trigone in the bladder?

A

Opening for ureters and urethra. Trigonal muscle is always smooth. Muscle bundles of trigone are small and continue into ureters and urehtra.

22
Q

Sphincter of bladder/urethra

A

Internal and external at opening of urethra

23
Q

Internal urethral sphincter in MALES

A

smooth muscle in bladder neck forms complete collar extending into preprostatic urethra. supplied with SYMPATHETIC fibres causing muscle to CONTRACT during EJACULATION - to prevent retrogade flow of semen into bladder. - urinary continence a little bit

24
Q

Internal urethral sphincter in FEMALES

A

smooth muscle oblique at neck and extends obliquely into upper urethra. also compressor urethrae?

25
Q

What muscle is the External urethral sphincter? role?

A

Ring of STRIATED muscle. Tone (constriction) of this muscle plays major role in CONTINENCE. (note also pelvic floor muscles involved -esp females)

26
Q

Urination?

A

Contraction of detrussor. Relaxation of sphincter. Triggered by stretch receptors in bladder wall.

27
Q

Where is hilum kidneys? (surface anat)

A

Transpyloric plane & about 5cm from midline.

28
Q

Upper pole kidney surface anat.

A

Right - deep to 11th rib (body T11)

Left - level of 11th intercostal space.

29
Q

Lower pole kidneys surface anat.

A

Body L3

30
Q

Ureters surface anat.

A

Cross Tv process of L3, midpoint of scroiliac joint, enters bladder at level of pubic tubercle.

31
Q

Bladder surface anat.

A

Apex/median umbilical at level of upper margin of pubic symphysis.

32
Q

Which kidney is 1cl lower and more left?

A

Right (liver)

33
Q

At what level do the ureters enter the bladder>

A

at elevel of pubic tubercles
