PATHOLOGY

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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The blood travels from the aorta in the heart to the renal arteries in each of the kidneys. The renal artery branches into smaller arteries called the afferent arterioles. The blood travels from the afferent arterioles to the glomerulus, located in the nephron.

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.
