Detailed explanation-1: -Blood flows into your kidney through the renal artery. This large blood vessel branches into smaller and smaller blood vessels until the blood reaches the nephrons. In the nephron, your blood is filtered by the tiny blood vessels of the glomeruli and then flows out of your kidney through the renal vein.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygenated blood comes to the kidneys from the right and left renal arteries off the abdominal aorta. Deoxygenated blood leaves the kidneys via the right and left renal veins that run into to the inferior vena cava.
Detailed explanation-3: -Filtered blood leaves the kidney through the renal vein and flows back to the heart. Pee leaves the kidneys and travels through the ureters to the bladder.
