Retroperitoneum

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Intraperitoneal   organs that have a visible mesentery  
🗑
Which organs are intraperitoneal?   stomach liver spleen pancreas 1 and 4 portion of duodenum jejunum ileum appendix transverse colon sigmoid colon  
🗑
Secondarily retroperitoneal   organs that move back to the body wall during development and their mesenteries "lay down" on the perioneaum  
🗑
Which organs are secondarily retroperitoneal?   2 and 3rd portions of duodenum ascending colon descending colon rectum  
🗑
Primarily retroperitoneal   organs that never develop a mesentary  
🗑
Which organs are primarily retropertioneal?   kidneys suprarenal glands ureters pelvic viscera  
🗑
Retroperitoneum   region immediately posterior to teh lining of teh abdomen  
🗑
Which ribs are posterior to the kidneys?   T11 and 12  
🗑
Which kidney is inferior?   The right kidney is inferior to the left  
🗑
How is surgical access to the kidneys gained?   By incising the skin, subcutaneous fat and intercostal muscles. Ribs are then spread to allow room in surgical window  
🗑
Concave side of kidney   Hilum  
🗑
Capsule   surrounds kidney to protect it from environment  
🗑
Renal vascular segments of the kidneys   superior anterior/superior anterior/inferior inferior posterior  
🗑
Are there anastomaoses between interlobal arteries? Why is this important?   No, therfore blood cannot shunt around an infarct  
🗑
If there is an infarct what happens to the kidney?   focal necrosis results  
🗑
Where is renal papilla located?   apex of each renal pyramid  
🗑
What do renal papilla do?   collects the filtrate from teh collecting ducts and empties it into the lumen of the minor calyx  
🗑
What happens to kidneys as they ascend in terms of blood supply?   They pick up more and more superior arterial blood supply and lose older, more inferior arteries  
🗑
Never reflect a ureter away from its _______.   Blood supply  
🗑
Ureters pass posterior to the   gonadal arteries and inferior to the uterine arteries. "water under the bridge"  
🗑
Proximal ureter has a thin layer of smooth muscle that is called the   muscularis externa  
🗑
The distal ureter has a thick   muscularis externa  
🗑
What is the difference histologically between the proximal and distal ureter?   proximal ureter has a thing layer of smooth muscle and the distal ureter has a thick layer of smooth muscle in the muscularis externa  
🗑
Polycystic kidneys   Inherited disease following an autosomal dominent inheritance pattern. Kidneys get large and nonfunctional  
🗑
Renal caliculi   kidneystones  
🗑
What are the common sites where the caliculi get wedged?   renal pelvis arcuate line of pelvis entry into the bladder  
🗑
What is the entry point of the kidney?   Hilum  
🗑
How many vascular segments do kidneys have?   5  
🗑
What is the order of arteries form the segmental artery?   Segmental aretery -> interlobal aa -> arcuate aa. -> interlobular aa.  
🗑
What kind of autonomic innervation is in the kidney?   only sympathetic  
🗑
What is the sympathetic innervation of the kidneys?   T10-11  
🗑
What is the parasympathetic innervation of the kidneys?   There isn't any  
🗑
What is the order of innervation from the sympathetic nerve?   Sympathtetic chain -> lesser splanchnic n. -> aorticorenal ganglion (synapse) -> follow the renal artery to the kidney  
🗑
urine leaves teh collecting ducts at teh apex of each?   renal papilla  
🗑
Each papilla empties into a   minor calyx  
🗑
Order of urine flow from the papilla   papilla -> minor calyx -> major calyx -> renal pelvis -> ureter  
🗑
Where does blood supply to the ureters coem from?   its medial side in the abdomen and from its lateral side in the pelvis  
🗑
As ureters descend, they pass __________ to the gonadal arteries and ___________ andterior to the large common iliac arteries.   posterior;anterior  
🗑
Why does the muscular lining of the ureter become more prominent as you move down?   The ureters must sometiems force urine into a full bladder  
🗑
From the bladder, how does urine drain in the male?   bladder -> prostatic urethra -> membranous urethra -> spongy urethra -> out  
🗑
From the bladder, how does urine drain in the female?   bladder -> membranous urethra -> out  
🗑
Where does the prostate secrete in the male?   into the urethra thru several small ducts  
🗑
Where do the ductus deferens and seminal vesicles release their contents?   prostatic urethra and prostatic utricle  
🗑
What kind of muscle does the membranous urethra pass thru?   skeletal muscle  
🗑
Why is important we have skeletal muscle in the membranous urethra?   It allows for urinary continence  
🗑
Where is kidney transplantion done?   At the more accessible common iliac arteries.  
🗑
Are old kidneys left in place during transplant?   Most often it is left in place.  
🗑
