WEEK 5 - Kindeyse, Bladder and Male and Female Pelvis Flashcards
location of the kidneys
lie on the posterior abdominal wall either side of the spinal column
important posterior relations of the kidneys
quadratus lumborum muscle
11th and 12th ribs
describe the path of the ureters
run down the posterior abdominal wall to enter the pelvis where they drain into the bladder
what are found at the super medial borders of the kidneys
the suprarenal glands
what % cardiac output goes to the kidneys
25%
blood supply to the kidneys is via
single pair of renal arteries
what drains the kidney of blood, where is this blood returned to
renal vein
returned to the inferior vena cava
3 zones of the kidney
cortex
medulla
renal pelvis
structural and functional unit of the kidney
nephron
where are cortical nephrons found
mainly in the cortex
junta-medullary nephrons
found at the junction between the medulla and the cortex
hormones produced by the suprarenal glands
adrenaline
aldosterone
cortisol
what are suprarenal glands
endocrine glands found at the super medial border of the kidneys
what is the quadratus lumborum muscle ?
deepest abdominal muscle
located in your lower back either side of the lumbar spine. starts with lowest rib, ends at top of pelvis
psoas major muscle
part of illiopsoas muscle, strongest hip flexor
originates from 1st to 4th lumbar vertebrae
cura of the diaphragm
2 tendinous structures that extend below the diaphragm to the vertebral column
common iliac artery
2 large arteries originate from aortic bifurcation at 4th lumbar vertebrae
external iliac artery
proceeds anterior and inferior along medial border of posts major muscles
external oblique aponeurosis
runs down centre of abdomen, starts at bottom of ribs, ends at pubis
runs crosswise to attach obliques to other abdominal muscles
internal oblique aponeurosis
divides into anterior and posterior layers which pass infant and behind the rectus muscle to reach the linea alba
transverse abdominal muscle
muscle layer of the anterior and lateral abdominal wall, deep to internal oblique muscle
acts to compress abdominal contents
pubic tubercle
forward projecting tubercle on upper border of superior rectus of the pubis.
Attaches to inguinal ligaments
anterior spine of the ileum
bony projection from iliac bone
refers to anterior extremity of the iliac crest of the pelvis
provides attachment for the inguinal ligaments and sartorius muscle
inguinal ligament
band running from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine
forms the base of the inguinal canal - through which a hernia may occur
conjoint tendon
formed from lower aponeurosis of internal oblique muscle and transverse abdomens.
inserts into the crest of the pubis behind superficial inguinal ring
superficial inguinal ring
triangular opening, forms exit of the inguinal canal
deep inguinal ring
found above midpoint of the inguinal ligament, lateral to epigastric vessels
created by transverse fascia, which invaginate to from covering of contents of inguinal canal
