Arterial supply
Paired with the arteries, but any of them will drain the entire kidney if the others are tied off.
One renal artery, a branch of the aorta, enters the hilum of the kidney between the pelvis, and the renal vein.
Maintain the internal homeostatic environment of the body by the regulation of the hydrogen ion.
Regulates electrolyte concentrations, controls blood volume, and regulates blood pressure.
