Kidney Anatomy Blood Supply. The neural supply from both divisions from the autonomic nervous system also enters the kidney at the hilum. The arteries and arterioles that provide blood flow to the kidneys must maintain sufficient blood flow to keep the tissues of the kidneys alive and also maintain sufficient blood pressure to allow wastes to be separated from the blood.
Kidney function is highly dependent upon sufficient blood pressure in the glomeruli. The neural supply from both divisions from the autonomic nervous system also enters the kidney at the hilum. It s supplied by the renal artery and drained by the renal vein.
Blood supply of the kidney the renal arteries branch from the abdominal aorta and enter the kidneys through the renal hilus.
The kidneys receive a large volume of blood 1 200 ml per minute which is about one fourth of the total cardiac output. The kidneys receive a large volume of blood 1 200 ml per minute which is about one fourth of the total cardiac output. Kidney function is highly dependent upon sufficient blood pressure in the glomeruli. At the hilum level the renal artery forms an anterior and a posterior division which carry 75 and 25 of the blood supply to the kidney respectively.
