The cystic artery commonly arises from the right hepatic artery in the angle between the common hepatic duct and the cystic duct
Which of the following veins, when dilated, produces caput medusae?
The paraumbilical veins of the anterior abdominal wall (portal system) anastomosing with superficial epigastric veins (systemic system), when dilated, produce caput medusae
Inferiorly, the posterior surfaces of the kidney are related to all of the following structures EXCEPT
Inferiorly, the posterior surfaces of the kidney are related to the quadratus lumborum muscle and the subcostal, iliohypogastric, and ilioinguinal nerves and vessels
The renal papillae empty into which of the following structures?
The renal papillae empty into the minor calices, which empty into major calices which in turn empty into the pelvis of the ureter

All of the following statements concerning the renal hilum are correct EXCEPT
At the concave medial margin of each kidney is a vertical cleft, the renal hilum, where the renal artery enters and the renal vein and renal pelvis leave the renal sinus. At the hilum, the renal vein is anterior to the renal artery, which is anterior to the renal pelvis
The suprarenal glands are located between the superomedial aspects of the kidneys and which of the following structures?
The suprarenal glands are located between the superomedial aspects of the kidneys and the diaphragm
Which of the following structures is related to the spleen, stomach, pancreas, and the left crus of the diaphragm?
The semilunar left suprarenal gland is related to the spleen, stomach, pancreas, and left crus of the diaphragm
All of the following statements concerning the suprarenal cortex are correct EXCEPT
The suprarenal cortex derives from mesoderm and secretes corticosteroids and androgens. These hormones cause the kidneys to retain sodium and water in response to stress
The superior suprarenal arteries are branches of which of the following arteries?
The superior suprarenal arteries are provided by the inferior phrenic. The middle suprarenal arteries are provided by the abdominal aorta and the inferior suprarenal arteries are provided by the renal artery

Which of the following muscles is considered to be the chief muscle of inspiration?
The diaphragm, the chief muscle of inspiration, descends during inspiration. Only its central part moves because its periphery, as the fixed origin of the muscle, attaches to the inferior margin of the thoracic cage and the superior lumbar vertebrae
All of the following statements concerning the central tendon of the diaphragm are correct EXCEPT
The central tendon of the diaphragm has no bony attachments and is incompletely divided into three leaves, resembling a wide cloverleaf. Although it lies near the center of the diaphragm, the central tendon is closer to the anterior part of the thorax. The inferior vena cava perforates the central tendon. The aortic hiatus is formed by the right and left muscular crura
The crura of the diaphragm are musculotendinous bundles that arise from which of the following structures?
The crura of the diaphragm are musculotendinous bundles that arise from the anterior surfaces of the bodies of the superior three lumbar vertebrae, the anterior longitudinal ligament, and the intervertebral discs
The nerves of the kidneys and suprarenal glands are derived from which of the following plexuses?
The nerves of the kidneys and suprarenal glands are derived from the celiac plexus, the lesser and least thoracic splanchnic nerves, and the aorticorenal ganglion
The lateral arcuate ligaments are formed from thickenings from which of the following muscular fasciae?
The diaphragm is attached on each side to the medial and lateral arcuate ligaments, which are thickenings of the fascia covering the psoas major and quadratus lumborum muscles, respectively
