……. ……….. maintains homeostasis by blood filtration
renal corpuscle
what does the ureter do?
carries urine from kidney to urinary bladder
what does the urethra do?
carries urine from bladder to outside the body
at what vertebral level does the transpyloric plane lie?
L1
what kidney is lower down? why??
right
the liver
what are the three posterior relations (muscles) of the kidney?
psoas major
diaphragm
quadratus lumborum
what structures make contact with the right kidney?
suprarenal glands
liver
duodenum
colon
jejenum
what structures make contact with the left kidney?
suprarenal gland
stomach
spleen
pancreas
area for small bowel
left colonic flexure
what is the nerve supply to the kidneys?
sympathetic
sympathetic nerves (T12-L1)
pass through the ceoliac ganglia along renal artery to the organ
what is the nerve supply to the kidneys?
parasympathetic
from vagus nerve
what is the lymphatic drainage of the kidneys?
para-aortic lymph nodes
around the origin of the renal arteries
at what vertebral level are the paired renal arteries given off from the abdominal aorta?
L1
identify a vein that travels up from the pelvis to drain into the left renal vein
left gonadal vein
the uerter commences as a dilatation called the …… …….., which lies posterior to the renal vessels, and as it descends it lies on the …… ……… muscle.
renal pelvis
psoas major
the ureter crosses anterior to the bifurcation of the common ……… ………., courses along the lateral wall of the pelvis, and turns medially to reach the ………..
iliac artery
bladder
in the male, the ductus ….. …… crosses the ureter superiorly
vas deferens
in the female, the ……. artery crosses the ureter superiorly
ovarian
what are the three constrictions in the ureters where calculi (stones) may lodge?
inferior renal pole (abdomen)
testicular/ovarian vessels
where it transverses the bladder wall
on which part of the bladder does the ureter enter?
vesicoureteric junction
what is the medial umbilical ligament an embryological remnant of?
allantois
embryonic urachus
what kind of epithelium lines the urinary bladder and ureter?
transitional
what is the advantage of having transitional epithelium in the urinary bladder and ureter?
it can contract/ expand in order to adapt to distension
what is the urethra?
tube that arises from the inferior part of the urinary bladder and caries urine from the bladder to the exterior
what muscle does the ureter lie on?
psoas major
what makes up the renal fascia of the kidney?
fibrofatty tissue
what is the predominant tissue type that makes up the urinary bladder?
smooth muscle
floor of the bladder is also often known as the…… of the bladder
trigone
name a tubular structure that passes immediately anterior to the ureter?
vas deferens
ovarian artery
uternine artery
what embryological structure gives the ureter?
ureteric bud
kidney lies on what plane?
transpyloric
