ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The renal arteries are part of the circulatory system. They carry large amounts of blood from the aorta (the heart’s main artery) to the kidneys. Approximately 1/2 cup of blood passes through your kidneys from the renal arteries every minute. Your kidneys are part of the urinary system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The renal artery supplies oxygenated blood from the heart to the kidneys. Blood is oxygenated in the lungs and returns to the left atrium and then to the left ventricle. Fine renal arteries arise from the left ventricle via the aorta, which supplies oxygenated blood to the kidneys.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right renal artery originates from the anterolateral aspect of the aorta and runs in an inferior course behind the inferior vena cava to reach the right kidney, while the left renal artery originates slightly higher and from a more lateral aspect of the aorta, and runs almost horizontally to the left kidney.

Detailed explanation-4: -(REE-nul AR-tuh-ree) The main blood vessel that supplies blood to a kidney and its nearby adrenal gland and ureter.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
