Anatomy Flashcards
what type of epithelium lines the ureters and bladder
stratified transitional
where on the bladder do the ureters enter
the superoposterior angle
where on the bladder does the urethra exit
the neck
what aspect of the bladder touches the peritoneum
the superior aspect
what ligament to the anterior aspect of the bladder
median umbilical ligament
what embryological structure is the median umbilical ligament a remnant of
the urachus: carried foetal urine to umbilicus
the ureters are retro/intraperitoneal
retroperitoneal
3 sites of ureter contstriction
- renal pelvis
- crossing the external iliac artery and pelvic brim
- passing through the bladder wall
what male structure crosses the ureter superiorly
vas deferens
what female structure crosses the ureter superiorly
uterine artery
what muscle does the ureter lie on
psoas major
what 3 muscle form the posterior surface of the kidneys
diaphragm, quadratus lomborum and psoas major
vein that drains into left renal vein but not into the right
gonadal vein
level renal arteries are given off from aorta at
L1
vertebral level of kidneys
T12-L3
vertebral level of transpyloric plane
L1
list 7 things that happen/exist at L1 transpyloric plane
- pylorus of stomach
- neck of pancreas
- 2nd past of duodenum
- hilum of kidneys
- SMV joins with splenic vein to form portal vein
- start of SMA
- termination of spinal cord
which kidney is lower and why
the right, because the liver is on the right taking up abdominal space
4 layers of kidney fascia
renal capsule, perirenal fat, renal fascia, pararenal fat
anterior relations of left kidney
suprarenal gland, spleen, pancreas, stomach, jejunum, left colic flexure,
anterior relations of right kidney
suprarenal gland, liver, duodenum, colon, jejunum
name for when kidneys are fused inferiorly
horseshoe kidney
sympathetic innervation of kidneys
T12-L1, pass through the coeliac ganglia and along renal artery
parasympathetic innervation of kidneys
derived from vagus nerve (CNX)
