Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The renal arteries are large blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to your kidneys. Renal is another word for kidney. 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-2: -The renal artery first divides into segmental arteries, followed by further branching to form interlobar arteries that pass through the renal columns to reach the cortex (Figure 3). The interlobar arteries, in turn, branch into arcuate arteries, cortical radiate arteries, and then into afferent arterioles.
