Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The renal hilum is also called renal pedicels. It is the central recessed area which is concave at centre and convex towards the periphery. This is the area where the renal artery enters the kidney and the renal vein and the ureters exit the kidney.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ureters, blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves enter and leave at the renal hilum.
Detailed explanation-3: -Blood travels to each kidney through the renal artery. The artery enters the kidney at the hilus (pronounced: HY-luss), the indentation in middle of the kidney that gives it its bean shape.
