Anatomy Flashcards
Left renal vein receives two additional veins: leftsuprarenal and left gonadal veins.
-First part of kidney to get damage by ischemia by receving less blood supply. Makes it very sensative to hypoxia
Renal medulla
What kidney is taken for transplantation and Why?
Left kidney, longer renal vein.
Kideny anatomical location
T12-L3
Kideny protected by what type of ribs and number
11 and 12 posteriorly, floating ribs
True or False
How do we describe organs like kidney, aorta, IVC, pancreas (except tail),supra-renal glands… in respect to location?
Retroperitoneal organs.
SAD PUCKER
-Supra-renal glands
-Aorta and IVC
-Duodenum (2nd-4th part)
-Pancreas (except tail)
-Ureters
-Colon (asc and desc only)
-Kidneys
-Esophagus(thoracic portion)
-Rectum
Rupture of Retroperitoneal organs will cause what?
bleeding into retroperitoneal space.
Kidney layers
Fascia (connects to sourrounding)–>Adipose capsule (protects against trauma)–>Renal Capsule (gives shape)**
% of CO (5L) that goes to kidneys and why?
25%, because it filters 150L blood every day (filters more than 1L every min.)
Renal vasculature
renal artery-segmental artery-Interlobar artery-Arcuate artery-cortical artery-afferent arterioles-Glomerulus(capillary)-efferent arterioles-Post-Capillaries- Interlobular vein- Arcuate vein-Interlobar vein-Renal vein.
How do we call fluid in bownmans space
Filtrate
Where is Juxta-glomerular complex located?
Between afferent arteriole and DCT.
Macula densa, Juxtaglomerular cell and mesngial cell form…..
Juxtaglomerular complex
Function of JGC
1.regulates BP
2.regulates GFR
Function of;
1.Macula densa
2.Juxtaglomerular cell
3.Mesengial cells
1.Loct DCT, senses Na+ and Cl-, will send signals to 2.Juxtaglomerular cell;senses low BP, secretes renin
3.helps with communication
