kidney

Where do the kidneys lie

l1

What are the Intraperitoneal and retroperitoneal viscera ?

Intraperitoneal =enveloped by visceral peritoneum, which covers the organ both anteriorly and posteriorly

retroperitoneal = not associated with visceral peritoneum; they are only covered in parietal peritoneum, and that peritoneum only covers their anterior surface.

Intraperitoneal organs 

Jigs + scls

J-jejunum

I - ileum

G-gallbladder

S-spleen

++

S - stomach

C- cecum

L- liver

S- sigmoid + transverse colon

What are retroperitoneal organs

• S = Suprarenal (adrenal) Glands

• A = Aorta/IVC

• D =Duodenum (except the proximal 2cm, the duodenal cap)

• P = Pancreas (except the tail)

• U = Ureters

• C = Colon (ascending and descending parts)

• K = Kidneys

• E = (O)esophagus

• R = Rectum

BOLD. = 2NDARY

where does the ureter get its blood supply from 

renal , gondal , abdominal , commoniliac , internal iliac

where do the 3 parts of the adrenal gland gets its blood supply from

superior = inferiro phrenic

middle - abdominal aorta

inferior - renal

on the right side the right adrenal vein will drin into →

the IVC

on the left side the left adrenal vein will drin into →

left renal vein

where do the kidney expand from

T12 -L3

Which lymph nodes drain the kidney

para aortic

innervation of the kidney?

both sympathetic(thoracic splanchnic, lumbar splanchnic) and para (vagus), which travel in the renal plexus

the renal nerve plexus is supplied by fibres from what

adominopelvic splanchnic nerves - particular the least splanchnic nerve

What is the innervation of the adrenal gland

coeliac plexus (greater, lesser and least splanchnic nerve)

Where are the natural constriction of the ureter

1.junction of renal pelvis +ureter

2. when it crosses the pelvis brim

3. when enterin bladder

These are sites of obstructions by kidney stones
