Q

fxn urinary system

A

filter the blood and dispose some of the waste byproducts of metabolic reactions in human body. This system also plays a major role in fluid and electrolyte balance.

Q

what are the 4 layers of kidney tissue from inside to out

A
  1. fibrous capsul: dense, irregular. mechanical proection, gives shape
  2. peri-renal fat: cushions, thermal insulation
  3. renal fasica; loose connective tissue. anchors, stabilizes
  4. para-renal fat: outside fascia, mostly behind kidney

16
Q

what do major calyxes do

A

they are the union of minor calyxes. then all major calyxes join togethr to form renal pelvis

17
Q

how many renal lobes are there

A

anywhere btw 8-18 (same as # of pyramids)

18
Q

renal sinus

A

space in kidney which contains minor/major calyx, renal pelvis, blood vessel, nerves, lymphatic vessels. entrance to sinus=hilum

19
Q

what structures are in renal hilum

A
  1. renal vein
  2. renl artery
  3. renal pelvis

** URETER IS OUTSIDE OF HILUM. it is a continuation of pelvis

20
Q
A
  1. renal lobe
  2. major calyx
  3. minor calyx
    4.renal papilla
    5.nephron
  4. renal capsule
  5. renal pyramid
  6. renal sinus
  7. renal pelvis
  8. ureter
21
Q

ureter- start, end, peritoneum

A

starts at renal pelvis
ends at urinary bladder
25 cm long
retroperitoneal

22
Q

narrowings along ureter

A
  1. At the beginning when it exits pelvis at level of LI
  2. When ureter crosses common iliac artery. At level of sacroiliac joint
  3. When ureter enters bladder (narrowest) at level of SII

kidney stnoes would get stuck at these narrowings

23
Q

difference btw M and F bladder

A

Males:
posterior features: Vas Deferens, Seminal vesicles, rectum
superior featuers: sigmoid colon, small intestine
The peritoneum covering superior surface reflects on anterior surface rectum, forms rectovesical pouch
inferolateral surface: pelvic floor

Females:
posterior features: uterus and vagina
superior: uterus, small intestine
peritoneum reflects to cover uterus and reflects on rectum to form uteroveiscal and rectouterine pouches
inferolateral: pelvic wall/diaphragm

24
Q

where does pelvic part of ureter cross in M vs F

A

M: ductus deference

F: uterine artery

25
Q

is bladder retro or intra peri

A

retro

26
Q
A
  1. seminal vesicle
  2. base of bladder
  3. right ureter
  4. peritoneum
    5.pubic symphysis
    6.apex
  5. Vas deferens
  6. urethra
  7. prostate gland
27
Q
A
  1. vagina
  2. peritoneum
  3. urinary bladder
  4. pubic symphysis
  5. urethra
28
Q

trigone

A

small trinagular area on base of bladder (anterior surface). landmark for inserting catheters.

upper corners = lateral angles

29
Q
A
  1. external urethral sphincter
  2. internal urethral sphincter
  3. ureteral openings (lateral angles)
  4. peritoneum
  5. ureter
  6. prostatic urethra
30
Q

sphincters of urethra

A
  1. internal urethral sphincter (smooth, involuntary)
  2. external urethral sphincter (skeletal, voluntary)
31
Q

male urethra parts

A
  1. preprostatic (intramural). startns frmo internal urethral rifice, passes thru neck of bldder. surrounded by internal urethral sphincter
  2. prostatic urethra: passes thru prostate. prostatic and ejaculatory ducts open here

3.membranous urethra: narrowest. passes thru pelvic floor, surrounded by external sphincter

  1. spongy (penile) urethra: longest part, passes thru penis, ends as external urethral orifice. bulbuorethral hlands poen to it
32
Q

female urethra

A

4 cm long and starts from the internal
urethral orifice at the neck of urinary bladder and ends as the external
urethral orifice to the exterior below the clitoris at the vestibule

33
Q

blood suppply urinary system

A

kidney and upper part of the ureter are supplied by the renal artery.

Branches of the internal iliac artery supply the lower part of ureter,
urinary bladder, and urethra

34
Q

innervaion kidneys and upper ureters

A

renal plexuses surrounding the renal arteries innervate the kidneys
and upper part of ureters. The sympathetic input to these plexuses
is provided by the lesser, least, and lumbar splanchnic nerves.
The
parasympathetic input to these plexuses is provided by the C X

35
Q

innervation urinary bladder and urethra

A

inferior hypogastric pleux
sympathetic input to these plexuses= lumbar/sacral splachnic
PSN input to these= pelvic splachnic
