Name the blood vessel that carries unfiltered blood from the aorta to the kidney. Correct Answer renal artery
The renal artery is one of the pair of large blood vessels that branch off from the abdominal aorta and enter into each kidney. At the inner concavity of each kidney, there is an opening, known as the hilum, through which the renal artery passes. After passing through the hilum, the renal artery divides ordinarily into two large branches, and each branch divides into many smaller arteries, which bring blood to the nephrons, the functioning units of the kidney.
