In kidney anatomy, the renal artery enters the kidney at which indented region?
A
Renal pelvis
B
Renal pyramid (medulla)
C
Renal hilum
D
Renal cortex
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the kidney and identify its major regions: the renal cortex (outer layer), renal medulla (inner region containing renal pyramids), renal pelvis (central collecting area), and the renal hilum (an indented area on the kidney's medial side).
Recall that the renal artery is responsible for bringing oxygenated blood into the kidney for filtration.
Recognize that the renal artery must enter the kidney through a specific opening or indentation to reach the internal structures.
Identify the renal hilum as the indented region on the medial side of the kidney where the renal artery, renal vein, and ureter enter or exit the kidney.
Conclude that the renal artery enters the kidney at the renal hilum, not at the renal pelvis, renal pyramid, or renal cortex.
