The human body has about 20 main arteries. Which of the following arteries bring unfiltered blood from the aorta to the kidneys?

The renal arteries have one major function: to carry blood from the heart to the kidneys. These arteries branch directly from the aorta, which is the main artery coming off the heart, on travel to each kidney. The renal arteries can send up to 33% of the blood coming from the heart to be filtered by the kidneys.
