Year 2 Anatomy Flashcards
What is the shape of the lateral border of the kidney?
Convex
What is the shape of the medial border of the kidney?
Concave
Which kidney is higher?
Left
Which muscles are medial, superior and inferior to the kidney?
Medial: Psoas major
Superior: Diaphragm
Inferior: Quadratus lumborum
What order does the renal vein and artery enter the renal hilum?
Renal vein anteriorly
Renal artery posteriorly
What do the segmental arteries supply?
The renal parenchyma and kidneys functional tissue
What are the renal columns?
Extensions of the renal cortex into the medulla
What are medullary rays?
Straight tubes –> Collecting ducts
What are renal papillae?
Renal pyramid –> Minor calcyes
What 4 structures are found in front of the right kidney?
Liver, Duodenum, Ascending colon, Hepatic flexture
What 6 structures are found in front of the left kidney?
Stomach, Spleen, Pancreas, Jejumum, Splenic flexture, Descending colon
Where does the Transpyloric plane cross the kidneys?
What vertebral level?
Hilum of the left
Superior pole of the right
T1
Where do the ureters lie?
Sticks to the fascia of the posterior abdominal wall muscles and parietal perineum
How do the ureters enter the pelvis?
Enter the pelvis by crossing the bifurcation of the common iliac artery
What are the three ‘narrowings’ of the ureters?
Renal pelvis narrows to become the ureter
Ureter passes posteriorly and inferiorly over the pelvic brim
Ureter enters the urinary bladder wall
What is the venous drainage of the urinary bladder?
Why is this clinically relevant?
Vesical pleux on the inferiolateral border communicates with veins draining the vertebral column, prostate and hindgut
Relevant for prostatic metastasis to the vertebral column
What is the innervation of the urinary bladder?
Sympathetic fibres from T11-L2 to the vesical plexux via the hypogastric plexues
Pain to the upper bladder
Parasympathetic fibres from sacral via pelvic splanchnic nerves and inferior hypogastric pleux
Pain to the rest of the bladder
What do the lactiferous lobules make up?
How many lobules make up a lobe?
Lactiferous lobules make up the lactiferous glands
One lobe has many lobules
What is the passage of milk through the breast?
Lobe –> Lobule –> Duct –> Sinus –> Nipple
What are the axillary lymph nodes?
Humeral (how) Central (can) Apical (a) Subscapular (snake) Pectoral (poo)
What attaches to the posterior leaf of the broad ligament?
Ovary
What attaches the upper part of the ovary to the uterus?
Ligament of the ovary
What is the shape of the clavicle bone?
Lateral is flat and concave
Medial is cylindrical and convex
Where are the supraglenoid and infraglenoid tubercles found?
Superior and inferior to the glenoid fossa
What type of joint is the:
Sternoclavicular
Acromiclavicular
Glenohumeral
Sternoclavicular: atypical synovial (fibrocartilage)
Acromiclavicular: atypical synovial (fibrocartilage)
Glenohumeral: synovial
