True about relations of renal aery and vein ?
Ans. is 'c' i.e., Right renal vein shoer than left renal vein Renal vasculature Each kidney is supplied by renal aery (branch of abdominal aoa) and is drained by renal vein to IVC. o Renal aery :- Right renal aery is longer and passes behind IVC. Renal aery divides into : ? a) Posterior division :- Supplies posterior segment. b) Anterior division :- Divides fuher into 4 branches to supply apical, upper anterior, middle anterior and lower segments. Renal vein :- Left renal vein is longer and passes in front of abdominal aoa, behind the origin of superior mesenteric aery. Therefore, it may be compressed in the narrow angle between the two aeries. Left renal vein also receives left inferior phrenic vein, left gonadal vein and left suprarenal (adrenal) vein. Each renal vein begins beneath the true capsule as stellate vein.
Left renal vein passes behind aoa
Renal aery passes in front of IVC
