Kidneys receive blood from systemic circulation via the RENAL ARTERIES, the blood flows through them and re-enters systemic circulation via the RENAL VEINS
The blood supply to the kidneys is from the left and right renal arteries, which branch directly from the abdominal aorta. The kidneys receive approximately 20% of cardiac output despite making up only about 0.5% of bodyweight.

The medical term "renal" refers to the kidneys, so a renal artery would be an artery (a type of blood vessel which oxygenated blood travels through) that leads to the kidneys and supplies them with blood.
Deoxygenated blood leaves the kidneys through the renal veins.
The renal artery supplies blood to the renal system, or the kidneys. The renal artery differ with the renal vein in containing the less concentration of co2 and more concentration of urea
The renal artery carries blood into the kidneys while the renal vein drains the blood.
Renal veins take blood away from the kidneys and renal arteries bring blood to the kidneys
Renal arteries take oxygenated blood to the kidneys and the renal veins take deoxygenated blood away from the kidneys.
Kidneys filter the blood in the body by removing the toxins and disposing them through urine. This function helps the body to clear any build up of waste within the body, and helps to keep the body from poisoning itself.
The renal artery delivers blood to the kidneys.
Renal artery or renal columns--- the arterial supply of each kidney is the renal artery. As the renal artery approaches the hilum, it divides into segmental arteries, each of which gives off several branchel called interlobar arteries, which travel through the renal columns to reach the cortex.
The renal glomeruli filters the blood in the kidneys
