What is continuous with the fat on the posterior abdominal wall?
Paranephric Fat (Pararenal Fat Body; outside of the Renal Fascia, posterior to the Kidneys)
Of the following renal fat and fascia describe what it is derived from and what do they cover?
a. perinephric fat
b. paranephric fat
c. renal fascia
a. Perinephric Fat (Perirenal Fat Capsule; derived from Extraperitoneal Fat, surrounds the Kidneys and Suprarenal Glands, is continuous with the Fat of the Renal Sinus)
b. Paranephric Fat (Pararenal Fat Body; outside of the Renal Fascia, posterior to the Kidneys)
c. Renal Fascia (membranous layer of connective tissue that surrounds the Kidneys, Suprarenal Glands and Perinephric Fat, forms an anterior and poster lamina that that is open medially and inferiorly, continuous laterally with Transversalis Fascia)
Renal Fascia will typically disallow spread of pus from one side to the other. Puss or blood from and injury can however spread inferiorly into the Pelvis this causes?
perinephric abscess
Describe where the kidney is removed during transplantation and where the transplanted one is placed?
How are they sutured?
The Kidney is removed posteriorly leaving the Suprarenal Gland in place. The transplanted Kidney is placed into the Iliac Fossa and the Vessels and Ureters are sutured together
When the kidney fails to ascend during embryological period...
When inferior poles of the kidneys are joined...
ectopic kidney

horseshoe kidney
describe the trigone...
how it is formed
Describe the folds involved...
(formed by the two Ureteric Orifices and Internal Urethral Orifice)
a. Ureteric Orifices (openings for the Ureters into the Urinary Bladder)
b. Internal Urethral Orifice (Opening for the Urethra in the Neck of the Urinary Bladder)
c. Iterureteric Fold (superior limit of the Trigone, joins the two Ureteric openings)
d. Uvula of the Urinary Bladder (swelling in the posterior wall of
Urinary Bladder at the Internal Urethral Orifice)
What are the "7" main parts of the urinary bladder?
1. trigone
2. apex
