Are renal segmental arteries the same as lobar arteries?

What Blood vessels are associated with the kidney?

The liver receives a dual blood supply from the hepatic portal vein and hepatic arteries. Supplying approximately 75% of the liver's blood supply, the hepatic portal vein carries venous blood drained from the spleen, gastrointestinal tract, and its associated organs. The hepatic arteries supply arterial blood to the liver, accounting for the remainder of its blood flow. Oxygen is provided from both sources; approximately half of the liver's oxygen demand is met by the hepatic portal vein, and half is met by the hepatic arteries.[5] Blood flows through the sinusoids and empties into the central vein of each lobule. The central veins coalesce into hepatic veins, which leave the liver and empty into the inferior vena cava. The kidneys receive blood from the renal arteries, left and right, which branch directly from the abdominal aorta. Despite their relatively small size, the kidneys receive approximately 20% of the cardiac output.[2] Each renal artery branches into segmental arteries, dividing further into interlobar arteries which penetrate the renal capsule and extend through the renal columns between the renal pyramids. The interlobar arteries then supply blood to the arcuate arteries that run through the boundary of the cortex and the medulla. Each arcuate artery supplies several interlobular arteries that feed into the afferent arterioles that supply the glomeruli. After filtration occurs the blood moves through a small network of venules that converge into interlobular veins. As with the arteriole distribution the veins follow the same pattern, the interlobular provide blood to the arcuate veins then back to the interlobar veins which come to form the renal vein exiting the kidney for transfusion for blood.

Are renal pelvis and renal calculi the same?

The renal pelvis and renal calculi are not the same. The renal pelvis is a normal part of the body. Renal calculi are kidney stones and are not normal.

What is the path that blood follows through the body beginning at the heart?

The path of blood from the heart to the kidneys is first from the abdominal aorta the blood enters the kidney through the renal artery. Then the renal artery divides into a number of segmental arteries. The segments arteries divide into lobar artery. The lobar arteries divide into inter-lobar arteries that travel between the renal pyramids. The inter-lobar arteries branch into arcuate arteries that travel between the cortex and medulla. From the arcuate arteries the blood is carried into the nephrons. In the nephron the blood enters through the afferent arteriole and into the glomerulus. The blood leaves the glomerulus by the way of the efferent arteriole, which the blood is carried to the peritubular capillaries, and finally to the vasa recta. When the blood reached the vasa recta that means that it had travelled through the whole nephron. The blood travels back to the heart through the veins. First through the interlobular vain, then through the arcuate vein, then through the interlobar vain, then through the segmental vain, and finally exists the kidney by the way of renal vein, and into the inferior vena cava.

Are the sections of the renal medulla the renal pyramids?

How do veins arteries and capillaries compared in size within diameter?

They are the same.

How is kidney a organ?

The kidney is a major organ in the lower section of the abdomen. The kidney preforms 2 major tasks in the body one consisting of filtering the blood and the other is to distribute nutrients from what ever liquid you may drink to the rest of the body. The fluid waste leaves the kidneys through the ureters and into the bladder.
