Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream. The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood to the body from the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The renal arteries carry a large volume of blood from the heart to the kidneys. The kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. You have two renal arteries. The right renal artery supplies blood to the right kidney, while the left artery sends blood to the left kidney.

Detailed explanation-4: -Afferent arterioles branch into the glomerular capillaries, while efferent arterioles take blood away from the glomerular capillaries and into the interlobular capillaries that provide oxygen to the kidney.
