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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Which of the following represents the correct sequence of blood flow through the nephron? Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery-afferent arteriole-glomerulus-efferent arteriole-peritubular capillaries-renal vein-exits the kidney.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
