To review:
Match the term renal veins with the most closely related descriptions given below:
deliver blood to the head
transport blood to the body’s skeletal muscles and internal organs
arteries whose smooth muscles do not contract
stationary blood clot
network of capillaries
arteries that supply a capillary network
supply blood to the upper limbs
small air sacs
supply blood to the lower limbs
collect blood from the kidneys
Introduction:
The blood vessels or veins that empty into the inferior vena cava collect blood from the abdomen area, kidneys, liver, gonads, and adrenal glands. There are six main veins that drain the abdomen. These veins are the adrenal veins, phrenic veins, renal veins, gonadal veins, hepatic veins, and lumbar veins.
