Which vessels can be found in the renal hilum?

What arteries supply the kidney?
Your renal arteries supply the kidneys with blood while the renal veins take it away back to the heart.
The movement of substances from the blood into the renal tubules is called?
SecretionSecretion is the process by which substances move into the distal and collecting tubules from blood in the capillaries around these tubules.

What are the parts of a nephron?
The parts of the nephron are the renal artery, renal vein, afferent arteriole, glomerulus, bowman's capsule, proximal tubules, distal tubules, loop of henle, renal pelvis, cortex, medulla, peritubular capillaries, and ureter.
Vessels that carry blood to the peritubular capillaries?
The main capillaries of the renal cortex which arise from the efferent arteriole after it leaves the renal corpuscle and wrap around the renal tubules, especially the proximal and distal tubules, to supply nutrients and oxygen to the tubules, to carry away wastes from the tubular cells.
What is the central portion of the kidney that collects urine from the renal tubules called?
The renal pelvis or pyelum.
What is the name given to the tube systems in the kidneys?
