Document Summary

Regulate bp: regulate amount of water lost, secrete the hormone renin. Location:: damage: retroperitoneal, left kidney t12-l2, right kidney l1-l3 (because liver is on top of it, adrennal medulla innervated by sympathetic ganglia from t10-t11. Surrounded by peritoneal fat, renal fascia, and pararenal fat: two layers of fat surrounding kidney anchors them to the back wall + prevent, right kidney only protected by 12th rib, left kidney protected by 11th & 12th rib. Adrenal gland located on superomedial surface of each kidney. Renal fascia (memberane) serperates suprarenal gland from kidney: important when you want to remove just the kidney, renal fascia opens inferiorly into your pelvis, renal fascia is attached to peritoneum anteriorly. Perinephric fat/perirenal fat (peri=around) - surround fibrous capsule. Kidney is surrounded by collagen fibers from rneal fascia and is packed in a soft cushion of adipose tissue (prevents day-to-day jolts) Minor calyx ducts within each papilla discharge urine into a cup-shaped drain.
