QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial section of the lumbar region of the abdominal cavity. The liver is located on the same side as the structure indicated by the blue arrow, but is found superior and anterior to the structure indicated. The liver does not lie in such close proximity to the vertebral column (the vertebral body can be seen here at the bottom of the image, in the midline). Thus, the arrow indicates the right perirenal space, which represents the largest division of the retroperitoneum and which contains the kidneys, the perirenal adipose tissue, the adrenal glands, the renal blood vessels and lymphatics.

QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial section of the lumbar region of the abdominal cavity. The psoas major muscle is located on either side of the vertebral column in the retroperitoneal space of the posterior abdominal cavity. The muscle is found medial to the structure indicated by the arrow. Thus, the arrow indicates the right perirenal space, which represents the largest division of the retroperitoneum and which contains the kidneys, the perirenal adipose tissue, the adrenal glands, the renal blood vessels and lymphatics.

QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial section of the lumbar region of the abdominal cavity. The left kidney is located on the contralateral side (the right of the patient is on the left of the image and vice versa, as if we are looking inside from the patient’s legs up). Thus, the arrow indicates the right perirenal space, which represents the largest division of the retroperitoneum and contains the kidneys, the perirenal adipose tissue, the adrenal glands, the renal blood vessels and lymphatics.

QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial section of the lumbar region of the abdominal cavity. The arrow indicates the right perirenal space, which represents the largest division of the retroperitoneum and contains the kidneys, the perirenal adipose tissue, the adrenal glands, the renal blood vessels and lymphatics.

a
Right perirenal space
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial section of the lumbar region of the abdominal cavity. The right kidney is contained within the perirenal space, to which the arrow points. The right perirenal space is the largest division of the retroperitoneum and which contains the kidneys, the perirenal adipose tissue, the adrenal glands, the renal blood vessels and lymphatics.
