3. A pair of kidneys are present in living
organisms
The main role of kidneys are to excret the toxin
substance
The kidneys are excretory organs
4. Kidneys are a pair of excretory organs
These are situated on the posterior abdominal
wall.
They removed waste products like metabolism
and excess water from the blood
5. The kidney occupy the epigastric ,hypocondric
lumber and umbilical regions
The right kideny is slightly lower than the left
kideny.
6. Each kideny is about -11cm long
Broad-6cm
Thickness -3cm
Weight in males – 150gm
Weight in females – 135gm
weight in childrens -80 to 100 (approxmently)
Weight in at birth - 40 to 60(approxmently)
The shape of kidney is Been shaped
7. It has upper and lower poles, medial and lateral
borders, and anterior and posterior surfaces .
Two poles:
upper pole:broad
lower pole :pointed
Two surfaces:
anterior surface :irregular
posterior surface :flat
Two borders:
medial:hilum
laterial -convex
8. Relation of right kidney
Liver , right suprarenal gland,liver , small
interstain
Relation of left kideny
* Stomach , spleen , jejunum , pancreas .
9. The fibrous capsule:
This is a thin membrane it is closely invests the
kidney and lines the renal sinus
* Renal facia :
The peri renal fascia was orginally described
as up of two separate layers
* posterior layer called fascia zuckerkandali and
anterior layer as fascia of gerota
10. The kideny consists three parts by the
examination of naked eye
1)An outer cortex
2)An inner medulla
3)A space the renal sinus
11. The blood supply of kidney is renal artaries
branch off the abdominal aorta .
12. The lymphatics of the kideny drain into the
lateral aortic nodes located at the leval region
of (L2)
It is parallels to the venous drinage system
after the leaving of renal hilum.
