Which of the following structures drains oxygen-depleted blood from the kidneys?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Renal Vein
Rationale:
🔹 The renal vein is responsible for draining oxygen-depleted blood from the kidneys and returning it to the inferior vena cava, which leads back to the heart.
🔹 After the kidneys filter the blood and regulate fluid and electrolyte balance, the cleaned, deoxygenated blood is carried away by the renal veins.
🔹 This is distinct from the renal artery, which brings oxygen-rich blood to the kidneys for filtration.
