e
Perinephric fat, renal fascia, renal capsule, paranephric fat
QuestionChoice
This is the correct answer as this is the anatomically correct order from superficial to deep. The paranephric fat separates the kidney from the abdominal wall muscles. The renal fascia is a dense, elastic connective tissue layer that separates the paranephric and perinephric fat. The perinephric fat is a simple connective tissue that protects the kidney and its associated vasculature from external physical stimulation such as temperature changes. Lastly, the renal capsule is composed mainly of tough fibres which help protect the kidney from damage due to trauma or injuries.

a
Paranephric fat, renal fascia, perinephric fat, renal capsule
QuestionChoice
This is not the correct answer. The paranephric fat is superficial to the renal fascia and is the outermost layer. In addition, the renal capsule is the first layer surrounding the kidneys and, therefore the deepest.
