Study Notes
Renal Sinus Space
- Located within the kidney, a space that houses the renal vasculature and neuronal structures
- Acts as a pathway for renal vessels and nerves to enter and exit the kidney
Urine Collecting Structures
- Consist of Minor and Major Calyces
- Minor Calyces: small, cup-like structures that surround the renal papillae and collect urine from the nephrons
- Major Calyces: larger, funnel-shaped structures that merge to form the Renal Pelvis
- Renal Pelvis: a narrow, funnel-shaped tube that collects urine from the Major Calyces and directs it to the ureter
Test your knowledge on the renal sinus space, minor and major calyces, renal pelvis, and other urine collecting structures within the kidney. Identify and understand the anatomy of these important components for urine drainage.
