munuaisverenkierron

Munuaisverenkierron, also known as renal circulation, refers to the blood supply to and drainage from the kidneys. This intricate system is vital for the kidneys' primary function of filtering waste products from the blood and producing urine. The renal arteries, branches of the aorta, deliver oxygenated blood to each kidney. Upon entering the kidney, these arteries further subdivide into smaller arterioles, eventually leading to the glomeruli within the nephrons. These tiny, coiled structures are where filtration begins. After passing through the glomeruli, blood flows through a network of capillaries and then into venules, which merge to form the renal veins. The renal veins carry deoxygenated blood away from the kidneys and drain into the inferior vena cava. The efficient functioning of munuaisverenkierron ensures that the kidneys receive a constant and substantial blood supply, necessary for their continuous filtration and regulatory activities. Disruptions to this circulation can have significant consequences for kidney health and overall bodily function.
