I would have thought it would be the renal vein due to veins carrying blood at low pressure. Valves prevent the backflow of blood. I would be surprised if the renal artery contains any valves at all
renal vein has a . larger lumen . smaller elastic layer . smaller muscular layer than the renal artery

What are function of the renal artery?
The renal artery supplies blood to the renal system, or the kidneys. The renal artery differ with the renal vein in containing the less concentration of co2 and more concentration of urea
Which artery in the heart is the largest and why?
Aorta..has to pump blood to the entire body. Pulmonary artery has to pump to the lungs...much less of a distance.
Are arteries less compliant than veins.?
YES! veins are more compliant than arteries. it means they are more capable of adopting their lumen size with changes in blood volume inside their lumen .when blood volume increase inside a vein lumen it easily expands and accepts whatever amount of blood reach and when blood volume decreases squeezes and adopt its lumen size for that amount of blood . but when we are talking just about arteries and want to compare one artery to another artery ,we should know that aorta is most compliant artery,remember the farther away from heart the less elastin in artery wall hence less compliance.
How does a blocked artery cause less oxygen to reach the heart?
Arteries carry blood, oxygenated by the lungs, to the cells of the body. Since the heart is a large muscle, its cells need oxygen too. When one of the arteries supplying the heart with oxygenated blood is blocked ("occluded") the oxygen cannot reach the cells supplied by that artery.
What is the difference between an artery and a vein and what do they do?
Arteries are more elastic but have smaller lumen. They carry blood away from the heart. Veins are less elastic have larger lumen and have valves. They carry blood to the heart.
Which blood vessel renal artery or renal vein contain less nitrogenous waste?
Renal vein.
What are function of the renal artery?
The renal artery supplies blood to the renal system, or the kidneys. The renal artery differ with the renal vein in containing the less concentration of co2 and more concentration of urea
A nitrogenous waste that is less toxic than ammonia?
Urea is a nitrogenous waste that is less toxic than ammonia. It is produced in the liver as a byproduct of protein metabolism and is excreted by the kidneys in urine. Urea requires less water to be excreted compared to ammonia, making it a more efficient waste product for terrestrial animals.
What is the advantage of excreting nitrogenous waste in the form of ammonia?
Ammonia is less soluble than uric acid.
What is a nitrogenous waste for chicken?
The primary nitrogenous waste for chicken is uric acid. Chickens excrete uric acid as a white, semi-solid paste along with their feces, which helps conserve water and maintain a good balance of electrolytes in their bodies. Uric acid is the result of the breakdown of proteins in the liver and is less toxic than other nitrogenous waste products like ammonia or urea.
What are the three nitrogenous waste excreted by animals?
The three nitrogenous wastes excreted by animals are ammonia (most toxic, released by aquatic animals), urea (less toxic, excreted by mammals), and uric acid (least toxic, excreted by birds and reptiles).
What does the kidney excrete?
the kidney is referred to as an excretory organ and excretes urea, which is a less toxic form of uric acid.
What is the form of nitrogenous waste that most fish give off?
Most fish excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of ammonia. Ammonia is highly toxic, but fish eliminate it primarily through the gills and some through the urine. Some fish species, particularly those living in environments with low water availability, convert ammonia to a less toxic form, such as urea or uric acid, before excreting it.
The least toxic of nitrogenous wastes is?
Urea is the less toxic in nature among the nitrogenous wastes where as Ammonia is 100,000 times toxic than urea.
How is your nitrogen waste different from a bird's nitrogen waste?
Ammonia has only one nitrogen per molecule, but it is quite toxic. It requires a great deal of water to be flushed out of the body. Reptiles including birds go one step further, packaging their nitrogenous waste as uric acid. That white stuff you see from a bird or a snake it has less water in the poop.
Renal parenchymal disease what it means?
This means disease of the kidney cells (nephrons) themselves. It usually implies less than optimal capacity to process waste (such as urinary creatinine).
What is a cortex of a kidney?
i have no idea :) i thing it does something
