25
Q

What is the renal pelvis?

A

funnel shaped area located ‘underneath’ the renal crest

26
Q

What is the dilated portion of the ureter?

A

the renal pelvis

27
Q

What is the glomerulus?

A

tufts of vessels where there is a high amount of blood flow

28
Q

What does the high blood pressure of the glomerulus do?

A

pushes out the fluid component of blood

29
Q

What is the bowman’s capsule?

A

it surrounds the glomerulus and collects the fluid component of blood that is pushed out by the glomerulus

30
Q

What is the renal corpuscle made up of?

A

the glomerulus and the bowman’s capsule

31
Q

How does the renal corpuscle affect the appearance of the cortex?

A

it is responsible for the granular appearance

32
Q

What are the parts of the renal pyramid?

A

the renal cortex, the renal medulla, the papilla (renal pelvis)

33
Q

True or false: the kidney only has one renal pyramid

A

false

34
Q

What can each renal pyramid be called?

A

a lobe

35
Q

What is in between each lobe of the kidney?

A

an interlobar artery

36
Q

What is the vessel that goes in between the medulla and the cortex?

A

the arculate artery

37
Q

Why is the dogs kidney considered unilobar?

A

because as it matures, the pyramids fuse together

38
Q

What section of the kidney can you see the ‘remnants’ of the renal pyramid?

A

parasagittal section

39
Q

How do the ureters run?

A

from medial to caudal from the hilus of the kidney to the urinary bladder

40
Q

What aspect of the abdominal cavity does the ureter begin at?

A

the dorsal aspect

41
Q

What aspect of the abdominal cavity does the ureter end at?

A

the ventral aspect

42
Q

What does the ureter have to pass in order to get to the ventral aspect of the abdominal cavity?

A

the rectum and the reproductive tract

43
Q

What complication can occur during a spay in regards to the ureter?

A

it can be confused with the uterine horn

44
Q

What part of the bladder does the ureter come in on?

A

the dorsal lateral aspect into the neck

45
Q

What is the peak of the bladder called?

A

the apex

46
Q

What can be seen on the apex?

A

a scar from the urachus

47
Q

What is the function of the lateral ligaments?

A

they suspend it in the urinary bladder

48
Q

Where does the lateral ligament connect?

A

the pelvic cavity

49
Q

What structure is within the lateral ligament?

A

the round ligament of the urinary bladder

50
Q

What does the round ligament come off of?

A

the aorta

51
Q

If the bladder is empty, where does the bladder lay?

A

in the pelvic cavity

52
Q

If the bladder is full, where does the bladder lay?

A

in the abdominal cavity

53
Q

What are the structures in the trigone?

A

the opening of the ureters and the internal ureteral orifice

54
Q

What follows after the trigone?

A

the urethral crest

55
Q

What is the urethral sphincter?

A

the smooth muscle of the urethra - involuntary

56
Q

What is the urethralis?

A

the voluntary muscle of the urethra so that animals can pee when appropriate

57
Q

What is the pararectal fossa?

A

the space between the rectum and the spine

58
Q

What is the rectogenital pouch?

A

space between the rectum and the genitals

59
Q

What is the vesicogenital pouch?

A

the space between the urinary bladder and the reproductive tract

60
Q

What is the pubovesicular pouch?

A

space between the pubic bone and the urinary bladder

61
Q

What vein runs off of the renal vein?

A

the gonadal vein
