Q

What the three constrictions of the ureters?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Ureteropelvic junctions
  • Pelvic inlet
  • Entrance to bladder
18
Q

What nerves make up the lumbar plexus?

Study These Flashcards
A

Lumbar plexus (L1-L4)

  • Iliohypogastric nerve
  • Ilioinguinal nerve
  • Genitofermoral nerve
  • Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve
  • Femoral nerve
  • Obturator nerve
  • Lumbosacral trunk

NOTE: The lumbar plexus constitutes the somatic nervous system

19
Q

Components of the sympathetic trunk

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Lumbar splanchnic nerves
  • Celiac plexus
  • Superior mesenteric plexus
  • Renal plexus
  • Inferior meseneric plexus
  • Aortic plexus
  • Hypogastric plexus

NOTE: The sympathetic trunk constitutes the autonomic nervous system

20
Q

Branches of the abdominal aorta

Study These Flashcards
A

Unpaired

  • Celiac trunk
  • Superior mesenteric artery
  • Inferior mesenteric artery
  • Median sacral artery

Paired

  • Inferior phrenic arteries
  • Middle supra-renal arteries
  • Renal arteries
  • Gonadal arteries
  • Lumbar arteries
  • Common iliac arteries
22
Q

What is the significance of the azygos vein and its attachment points?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • The azygos vein is conencting to the systems of the superior and inferior vena cava and can provide an alternative path for blood to the right atrium when either the vena cava are blocked
23
Q

What is the major function of the kidneys?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Maintain blood purity by removing:
    • Nitrogen compounds
      • Urea
      • Uric acid
      • Creatinine
    • Excessive ions thus maintaining electrolyte balance
      • K+
      • H+
    • Toxins
24
Q

Where are the kidneys located?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Retroperitoneal
  • Right kidney is lower
  • Between T12 and L3
25
Which nerves cross the the kidneys?
* Subcostal * iliohypogastric * Ilioinguinal **NOTE:** Damage of the subcostal, iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal nerves during kidney transplant may result in paralysis of the lower abdominal wall and hernia

30
What is the course of the ureters?
* Run posterioinferiorly on the lateral wall of the pelvis * External to the parietal peritoneum * Anterior to the internal iliac aa. * They curve anteromedially to ender the posteriosuperior angle of the bladder
31
Nerves to the kidney and ureters arise from the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
Renal plexus **NOTE:** The renal plexus consists of parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers. The plexus is supplied by fibers fro m the **thorasic splanchnic n., mostly least splanchnic nerve.**
32
How is a ureter stone passes?
Smooth muscle of the ureter produce intense peristaltic contractions. **NOTE:** Dilation of the pelvis and calyces
33
What are the presentations of hydronephrosis due to congenital pelviureteric obstruction?
* Marked dilation of the renal pelvis * The proximal 1/3 of the ureter was atrophic with a pinpoint microscopic lumen * Patient presents with abdominal pain
34
Where is the kidney usually placed in cases of kidney donation?
**Iliac Fossa** **NOTE:** It is often necessary to use a different blood supply. The renal artery is often connected to the **external iliac artery** in the recepent. The renal vein is often conencted to the **external iliac vein** in the recipient.
35

36
Where is the bladder located in females?
Anterior and inferior to the uterus
37
Why does urinary frequency and urgency increase during pregnancy?
The enormous uterus limits the expansion of the bladder
38
What's the difference between the internal and external uretheral sphincters?
**Internal urethral sphincter** * Circular smooth muscle **External urethral sphinter** * Skeletal muscle
39
Label
40
The urethra passes through the ________ in males.
Prostate gland \*Prostate tumors may occlude the urethra
41
Benign prostate hypertrophy
* Enlargement of the inner part of the gland, **most median lobe**, by action of **testosterione** * Swelling of the uvula, leads to compression of the internal urethral orifice, which leads to intermittent retention of urine **NOTE:** This occurs mostly in aged men, where there is a frequency to urinate, however urine cannot be expelled
42
Why are females more prone to UTIs?
Becuae of the location of the urethra, proximal to the vagina, and the shortness of the urethra
