Renal means related to kidneys. Kidneys are very sensitive to hypotension. That is to low blood pressure. Kidneys have to wash out the waste products of protein metabolism. They are very much toxic to the brain. Your kidneys are very small in size, but still get very heavy blood supply. Kidneys filter out about 180 litres of fluid per day. That is the need of the hour. In case of hypotension, this function will be adversely affected. So kidneys secrete the hormone to maintain the blood pressure.

Comment on the differences between the walls of the renal artery and the other vessels located at the hilus region?
The walls of the renal artery are thicker and more muscular compared to the other vessels located at the hilus region, such as the renal veins and smaller arteries. This increased thickness is due to the renal artery's role in carrying high-pressure blood directly from the heart to the kidneys. In contrast, the renal veins have thinner walls as they transport deoxygenated blood back to the heart at a lower pressure. Additionally, the renal artery has more elastic tissue to accommodate the pulsatile flow of blood, while the veins are more compliant to adjust to varying blood volumes.
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?

What are the cortical tissues located between the pyramids?

Why does Seroquel overdose cause renal failure?
Seroquel (quetiapine) overdose can lead to renal failure primarily due to its sedative effects and potential for causing severe hypotension, which can reduce renal perfusion and lead to acute kidney injury. Additionally, the overdose may result in metabolic disturbances, such as rhabdomyolysis or dehydration, both of which can further impair kidney function. The accumulation of the drug itself and its metabolites can also be nephrotoxic, exacerbating renal damage. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to mitigate these risks.
