LUMBAR REGION: KIDNEY AND ESTRUCTURES

MATERIAL DE LECTURA DE UNIDAD # 2: WORK AREAS IN NUTRITION.

INTRODUCTION

The anatomy of the body is very complex, so we have developed a content for radiology and imaging students in order to have a better understanding of the lumbar region and kidney structures

Your lumbar

Your lumbar spine has several functions, including:

Supports your upper body, distributes body weight. Your lumbar spine supports the upper two sections of your spine the seven vertebrae in your neck (cervical spine) and 12 vertebrae in your chest (thoracic spine) and the weight of your head. Your lumbar spine connects to your pelvis and bears most of your body’s weight, as well as the stress of lifting and carrying items. Your lumbar spine also transfers the weight from your upper body to your legs.Moves your body. The muscles of your lower back and flexibility of your lumbar spine allow your trunk to move in all directions front to back (flexion and extension), side to side (side bending) and full circle (rotation), as well as twist. The last two lumbar vertebrae allow for most of this movement.

KIDNEY AND ESTRUCTURES

The kidneys, illustrated in Figure 1, are a pair of bean shaped structures that are located just below and posterior to the liver in the peritoneal cavity. The adrenal glands sit on top of each kidney and are also called the suprarenal glands. Kidneys filter blood and purify it. All the blood in the human body is filtered many times a day by the kidneys; these organs use up almost 25 percent of the oxygen absorbed through the lungs to perform this function. Oxygen allows the kidney cells to efficiently manufacture chemical energy in the form of ATP through aerobic respiration. The filtrate coming out of the kidneys is called urine.

CONCLUSION

We can say that the lubar area is very important to know its function, and the specific areas that it has. So that radiology students have a better understanding of this subject
