The kidneys main function is to filter blood. They are also considered the main excretory organs in humans. They eliminate water, urea, and other waste products from the body in the form of urine. The kidneys get their blood supply through the renal arteries. The renal artery is a branch of the abdominal aorta that supplies the kidneys with blood from the liver and heart. There are 2 - the left and the right renal artery.
Blood flows round the body; it passes through the heart to replenish its oxygen content. Veins are the blood vessels that take oxygen depleted blood from the body to the heart while arteries take oxygen rich blood away from the heart to the body. Blood transports nutrients from the digestive system or storage sites to tissues that require them, and waste products from the tissues to the liver and then to the kidneys for disposal.
The liver is a unique organ; it gets oxygen rich blood from the heart and nutrient rich and toxin laden blood (absorbed from digested food, as well as medications consumed by the body) from the portal vein. All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver. What the body cannot use, e.g. excess proteins and its break down products, the liver turns it into urea, dumps this into the blood for collection by the kidney via the renal arteries. The waste is excreted in urine.
The renal artery thus carries urea, uric acid and other components of urine from the liver to the kidneys. Human waste for elimination through the kidneys is generally produced during routine body functions such as breaking down proteins or other food substances. Waste may sometimes come from a variety of environmental toxins that gain entry into the body via air, water, food and skin contact. These waste are processed in the liver and transported for elimination by the renal arteries to the kidneys.
Any substance or chemical that the body cannot use at all, or even if the body can use it, but it is present in excess of what the body needs is considered waste. Minerals, vitamins and other nutrients that you get from your food or anything that is not needed is considered waste. The liver processes all these then sends waste through the renal artery to the kidney.
This is how waste finds its way into the renal artery.
