Anatomical Planes, Terms & Vertebral Level Landmarks — Practice
A 30-year-old man sustains a stab wound to the lower back just lateral to the erector spinae at the level of L1, and the renal pedicle structures are exposed. From anterior to posterior at the hilum of the right kidney, the correct arrangement of structures is:
ARenal vein, renal artery, renal pelvis
BRenal vein, renal pelvis, renal artery
CRenal pelvis, renal artery, renal vein
DRenal artery, renal vein, renal pelvis
