Feedback:
The renal arteries diverge, forming smaller arteries, until they become the afferent arterioles that supply blood to the glomeruli. The kidneys receive their generous blood supply from renal arteries, which branch from the aorta close to the heart. Because it comes directly from the abdominal aorta, renal blood is highly oxygenated. Efferent arterioles arise from the glomeruli and carry blood away. The renal vein empties into the inferior vena cava.
