the fibrous tissue which covers the kidney is called the?

Answer 1

In a nutshell, the kidney is protected by 3 layers of connective tissue....the renal faschia (fibrous membrane) which surrounds the kidney and binds the organ to the abdominal wall, the adipose capsule (layer of fat) which cushions the organ, and the renal capsule (fibrous sac) which surrounds the kidney and protects it from trauma and infection.

Answer 3

Outer Layer Of The Kidney

Answer 4

The kidneys are contained within a fibrous sheath called the Gerota's fascia and ...Capsule: covers kidney, is surrounded by perirenal fat ... Gerota's fascia: fibromembranous tissue surrounding the kidney that separates it .....The kidneys are located in the dorsal lumbar section of the midsection and are retroperitoneal. They, along with the adrenal glands located on top of them, are covered with--and well protected by--a layer of fat.......The kidneys are protected and anchored by three concentric layers of connective tissue; a layer of collagen fibers covers the outer surface of the entire organ. This layer, the renal capsule , is also known as the fibrous tunic of the kidney. A layer of adipose tissue called the adipose capsule surrounds the renal capsule. This layer can be quite thick, so that adipose capsule often obscures the outline of the kidney. Collagen fibers extend outward from the renal capsule through the adipose capsule to anchor the kidney to surrounding structures. These fibers create a dense outer layer known as the renal fascia . Posteriorly the renal fascia fuses with the deep fascia surrounding the muscles of the body wall. Anteriorly the renal fascia forms a thick fibrous layer that is covered by the peritoneum.....Superficial and Sectional Anatomy of the Kidney

Each kidney has the shape of a lima bean, with a prominent indentation, or hilus , facing medially. A typical adult kidney measures approximately 10 cm (4in.) in length, 5.5 cm (2.2 in.) in width, and 3cm (1.2 in.) in thickness. The surface of the organ is covered by a dense fibrous capsule, and in sectional view the inner portion of the capsule folds inward at the hilus to line an internal cavity, the renal sinus. Renal vessels and the ureter draining the kidney pass through the hilus and branch within the renal sinus. Renal vessels and the ureter draining the kidney pass through the hilus and branch within the renal sinus. A thickened, external portion of the capsule extends across the hilus and stabilizes the position of these structures. Superficial and Sectional Anatomy of the Kidney

Answer 5

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.

They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!

This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.

It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.
