2. Components of urinary system
•Two Kidneys
– Perform all functions except actual excretion.
•Two Ureters
– Convey urine from Kidneys to Urinary Bladder
•Urinary Bladder
– Holds Urine until excretion
•Urethra
– Conveys urine from bladder to outside of body
4. • Angle between the lower border of the 12th rib and
lateral border of erector spinae.
• It overlies the lower part of kidney.
• Tenderness can be felt in this area in case of
perinephric abscess.
Renal angle
5. Right Vs Left
• Left kidney is nearer to midline than right.
• Left is placed higher than the right
• Left kidney is longer than that of right.
• Transpyloric plane passes through the upper part of
right hilum and lower part of left hilum
# left is longer and nearer
6.
7. Alteration in shape
Horseshoe shaped kidney
Alteration in position
• Pelvic kidney
• Thoracic kidney
• Crossed ectopic kidney
8. Hilum of Kidney
• It is the gateway of kidney for different structures.
• From anterior to posterior, structures are-
1. Renal vein
2. Renal artery
3. Renal pelvis- continues as ureter
1. Hilum
2. Renal sinus
3. Renal parenchyma
9. Muscles
1. Psoas muscle
2. Quadratus lumborum
3. Transversus abdominus
4. Diaphragm
Nerves
1. Subcostal N
2. Iliohypogastic N
3. Ilioinguinal N
Ribs
11th – left only
12th – Right +left
11. Right
• Adrenal gland
• Liver
• Duodenum
• Colic flexure
• Small intestine
Left
• Adrenal gland
• Stomach
• Pancreas
• Colic flexure
• Small intestine
12.
13. Covering of the kidneys
• Fibrous capsule (true capsule)
• Perinephric fat
• Renal fascia( fascia of Gerota)
• Paranephric fat
14. Covering of kidney
• In Nephroptosis (mobile kidney), fibrous capsule is
divided and sutured with the posterior abdominal
wall (process is called as Nephropexy).
15. Renal Fascia or fascia of Gerota
• Consists of two layers
1. Anterior layer or fascia of Toldt
2. Posterior layer of Fascia of Zuckerkandl
• Laterally: Both layer fused and continued with the fascia
transversalis
• Medially: Layers do not fuse.
19. Macroscopic structure
Renal parenchyma (Kidney proper)
1. Cortex-
Cortical arches
Renal column
2. Medulla is made up of renal pyramid.
Renal sinus
Major and minor calyces
Blood vessels
Nerves and Lymphatics
Perinephric fat
26. • The Vasa recta is a portion of the peritubular capillary system which
enters the medulla.
• It acts with the loop of Henle to concentrate the urine by a complex
mechanism of counter current exchange .
• If the vasa recta did not exist, the high concentration of solutes in the
medullary interstitium would be washed out.
27. Ureter
• These are pair of muscular tubes( 25 cm) that are
continuous superiorly with the renal pelvis.
• Consists of three parts.
1. Abdominal part
2. Pelvic part
3. Intramural part
36. Conclusion
• Kidneys are retroperitoneal organs extend between T12 to L3
vertebra.
• ‘Renal angle’ is the site of tenderness in perinephric abscess.
• Let kidney is longer and nearer to the midline and diaphragm.
• Relationship of the ureter with the uterine artery is utmost important
during hysterectomy procedure.
37.
38. Urinary Bladder
• The bladder is the most anterior element of the pelvic viscera.
• Entirely in the pelvic cavity when empty.
• Expands superiorly into the abdomen when full.
• An empty bladder is somewhat tetrahedral and oval when full.
• Has a base (fundus), neck, apex, a superior and two inferolateral
surfaces.
• Mean capacity is 220 ml.
• 150-250 ml collection lead to desire to micturition.
• Volume >500 ml caused pain due to its distension.
39.
40.
41. Bladder - Female
Superior surface- peritoneal
Other- not peritoneal
Surfaces:
• Superior surface
• Posterior surface (Base)
• Inferiolateral surfaces
Apex- directed anteriorly
Neck- directed inferiorly
42. Bladder- Male
Superior surface- peritoneal
Base: upper part peritoneal
Other : non peritoneal
Neck is encircled by prostate.
45. Base of urinary bladder of male
• Rectovesicle pouch
• Seminal vesicle
• Ampulla of vas deference
• Rectovesicle fascia
(Denonvillier’s fascia)
46. Base of urinary bladder of female
• Anterior vaginal wall
• Anterior wall of supravaginal
part of cervix
47. Space of Retzius
Potential space between
urinary bladder and
pubic symphysis.
Content:
Retro-pubic fat
Veicle plexus of vein
48. Neck of Urinary Bladder
• The neck of the bladder surrounds the origin of the urethra.
• The neck is the most inferior and also the most 'fixed' part of
the bladder.
• In male it is surrounded by prostate gland.
• It is anchored into position by a pair of tough fibromuscular
bands
• pubovesical ligaments in female
• puboprostatic ligaments in male.
57. Base of
bladder
Base of
bladder
• Opening of ejaculatory ducts
• Opening of prostatic utricle
How the ejaculatory ducts runs
from base of bladder ?
69. Filtration membrane
1. Endothelial cells (fenestration)
2. Basement membrane (type IV collagen)
3. Pedicles of podocytes (filtration slits)
70.
71. • Nephrotic Syndrome: abnormalities in the structure
of glomerular Basement membrane makes filtration
membrane functionally leaky.
i. Protenuria
ii. Hypoalbuminea
iii. Oedema
iv. Hematuria
78. Ureter, urinary bladder and urethra.
• Except for urethra, general arrangement is –
a. Mucosal epithelium (Transitional epithelium)
b. Lamina propria
c. Muscle layer (inner longitudinal, outer circular)
(3rd layer of longitudinal muscle is found in distal ureter and bladder.)
d. Adventitia or Serosa layer
