The left brachiocephalic vein passes behind the ascending aorta and connects with the right brachio- cephalic vein, and the left renal vein passes behind the abdominal aorta. These two anomalous cases mentioned above have been reported respectively. There have been few reports discussing coexistence of the postaortic left brachiocephalic vein with the postaortic left renal vein. We discuss the anatomical and embryological aspect of this anomaly with reference in the literature. Introduction phalic vein (PALBV) with the postaortic left renal vein (PALRV).

  • Surgical Anatomy of the Common Iliac Veins During Para-Aortic and Pelvic Lymphadenectomy for Gynecologic Cancer
    Original Article J Gynecol Oncol Vol. 25, No. 1:64-69 http://dx.doi.org/10.3802/jgo.2014.25.1.64 pISSN 2005-0380·eISSN 2005-0399 Surgical anatomy of the common iliac veins during para-aortic and pelvic lymphadenectomy for gynecologic cancer Kazuyoshi Kato, Shinichi Tate, Kyoko Nishikimi, Makio Shozu Department of Gynecology, Chiba University School of Medicine, Chiba, Japan See accompanying editorial by Lee on page 1. Objective: Compression of the left common iliac vein between the right common iliac artery and the vertebrae is known to be associated with the occurrence of left iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In this study, we described the variability in vascular anatomy of the common iliac veins and evaluated the relationship between the degree of iliac vein compression and the presence of DVT using the data from surgeries for gynecologic cancer. Methods: The anatomical variations and the degrees of iliac vein compression were determined in 119 patients who underwent systematic para-aortic and pelvic lymphadenectomy during surgery for primary gynecologic cancer. Their medical records were reviewed with respect to patient-, disease-, and surgery-related data. Results: The degrees of common iliac vein compression were classified into three grades: grade A (n=28, 23.5%), with a calculated percentage of 0%-25% compression; grade B (n=47, 39.5%), with a calculated percentage of 26%-50% compression; and grade C (n=44, 37%), with a calculated percentage of more than 50% compression. Seven patients (5.9%) had common iliac veins with anomalous anatomies; three were divided into small caliber vessels, two with a flattened structure, and two had double inferior vena cavae.

Chentanez, N. Nateniyom, T. Huanmanop, S. Agthong Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand [Received: 19 June 2017; Accepted: 31 July 2017] Variations of the arterial and venous system of the abdomen and pelvis have im- portant clinical significance in hepatobiliary surgery, abdominal laparoscopy, and radiological intervention. A case of double inferior vena cava (IVC) with complex interiliac communication and variation of the common hepatic artery (CHA) arising from superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in a 79-year-old male cadaver is presented. Both IVCs ascended on either side of the abdominal aorta. The left-sided IVC crossed anterior to the aorta at the level of the left renal vein. The union of both IVCs was at the level just above the right renal vein. The diameter of right-sided IVC, left-sided IVC and the common IVC were 16.73 mm, 21.57 mm and 28.75 mm, respectively. In the pelvic cavity, the right common iliac vein was formed by a union of right external and internal iliac veins while the formation of left common iliac vein was from the external iliac vein and two internal iliac veins. An interiliac vein ran from right internal iliac vein to left common iliac vein with an additional communicating vein running from the middle of this interiliac vein to the right common iliac vein.

  • The Urinary System Dr
    The urinary System Dr. Ali Ebneshahidi Functions of the Urinary System • Excretion – removal of waste material from the blood plasma and the disposal of this waste in the urine. • Elimination – removal of waste from other organ systems - from digestive system – undigested food, water, salt, ions, and drugs. + - from respiratory system – CO2,H , water, toxins. - from skin – water, NaCl, nitrogenous wastes (urea , uric acid, ammonia, creatinine). • Water balance -- kidney tubules regulate water reabsorption and urine concentration. • regulation of PH, volume, and composition of body fluids. • production of Erythropoietin for hematopoieseis, and renin for blood pressure regulation. Anatomy of the Urinary System Gross anatomy: • kidneys – a pair of bean – shaped organs located retroperitoneally, responsible for blood filtering and urine formation. • Renal capsule – a layer of fibrous connective tissue covering the kidneys. • Renal cortex – outer region of the kidneys where most nephrons is located. • Renal medulla – inner region of the kidneys where some nephrons is located, also where urine is collected to be excreted outward. • Renal calyx – duct – like sections of renal medulla for collecting urine from nephrons and direct urine into renal pelvis. • Renal pyramid – connective tissues in the renal medulla binding various structures together. • Renal pelvis – central urine collecting area of renal medulla. • Hilum (or hilus) – concave notch of kidneys where renal artery, renal vein, urethra, nerves, and lymphatic vessels converge. • Ureter – a tubule that transport urine (mainly by peristalsis) from the kidney to the urinary bladder. • Urinary bladder – a spherical storage organ that contains up to 400 ml of urine. • Urethra – a tubule that excretes urine out of the urinary bladder to the outside, through the urethral orifice.

  • Sources of Venous Blood Supply of Kidneys in Chicken of Haysex White Breed
    M. V. Pervenetskaya et al /J. Pharm. Sci. & Res. Vol. 10(10), 2018, 2639-2641 Sources of Venous Blood Supply of Kidneys in Chicken of Haysex White Breed M. V. Pervenetskaya, L. V. Fomenko, G. A. Honin Omsk State Agrarian University named after P.A. Stolypin, 644008, Omsk, Russian Federation, Institutskaya Square, 1 Abstract: As a result of our studies, it has been found that blood from pelvic extremities in chicken flows along the right and left external iliac veins into the pelvic cavity. The caudal portal vein of the kidney branches from it in the caudal direction - from cranial part of kidneys. The caudal portal vein collects blood from middle and caudal parts of the kidney. The caudal portal vein, slightly bending in the caudomedial direction, joins the caudal portal vein from the opposite side. Coccygeal mesenteric vein branches from junctions of these veins. The right and left renal veins when joining together with an acute angle flow into the common iliac vein, which in turn enters caudal vena cava. Intraorgan veins of the kidney are divided into interlobular, perilobular, intralobular veins and capillaries. Venous blood from kidneys flows by three different ways. The first way is carried out by the hepatic veins from the midst and caudal parts of kidney. Firstly, these veins flow into the common iliac vein, and then into the caudal part of vena cava. The second way of outflow is carried out through the coccygeal mesenteric vein in the liver. The third way is carried out along the right and left cranial anterior portal veins from the anterior part of the kidney into the vertebral venous canal.
