Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It is roughly bean-shaped with an indentation, called the hilum, on the medial side. The hilum leads to a large cavity, called the renal sinus, within the kidney. The ureter and renal vein leave the kidney, and the renal artery enters the kidney at the hilum.
Detailed explanation-2: -The point at which the renal arteries and nerves enter the kidney, and renal veins and ureter leaves the kidney is called hilum/hilus.
Detailed explanation-3: -The hilum is the concave part of the bean-shape where blood vessels and nerves enter and exit the kidney; it is also the point of exit for the ureters-the urine-bearing tubes that exit the kidney and empty into the urinary bladder.
