renal artery in dogs

One of two laterally paired arteries that supplies the kidneys. These are large arteries that branch from the dorsal aorta in primitive vertebrates. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the renal artery is

One of two laterally paired arteries that supplies the kidneys. These are large arteries that branch from the dorsal aorta in primitive vertebrates. The atlas records it as a artery at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the renal artery is

It sits within the cardiovascular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the renal artery connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. a kind of abdominal aorta artery.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the renal artery. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
