Multiple renal vessels associated with testicular vessels.
Summary of "Multiple renal vessels associated with testicular vessels."
A rare case of multiple renal vessels associated with testicular vessels was found from 85-year-old male cadaver undergoing routine dissection. The characteristic findings in the cadaver included the presence of five right renal arteries and three left renal arteries arising from the abdominal aorta, and the right testicular artery originated from the right middle hilar artery and the left testicular artery originated from the left inferior hilar artery. This variation may represent an immature form of complicated development of the kidneys and testes.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Retinal Telangiectasis
A group of rare, idiopathic, congenital retinal vascular anomalies affecting the retinal capillaries. It is characterized by dilation and tortuosity of retinal vessels and formation of multiple aneurysms, with different degrees of leakage and exudates emanating from the blood vessels.
Retinal Vessels
The blood vessels which supply and drain the RETINA.
Lymphatic Vessels
Tubular vessels that are involved in the transport of LYMPH and LYMPHOCYTES.
Blood Vessels
Any of the tubular vessels conveying the blood (arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins).
Renal Circulation
The circulation of the BLOOD through the vessels of the KIDNEY.

Bilateral variations of renal vessels were encountered during the dissection of a 54-year-old male cadaver. There were triple renal arteries bilaterally, double renal veins on the right, and an unusua...
A novel in vivo technique for observations of choke vessels in a rat skin flap model.
: Choke vessels are reduced-caliber vessels that link adjacent vascular territories throughout the body. The behavior of choke vessels determines flap survival. Therefore, it is important to develop a...
Tyrosine kinase receptor alteration of renal vasoconstriction in rats is sex- and age-related.
Male rat renal blood vessels undergo reduced contraction to norepinephrine with aging. There is a greater renal vascular impairment in male compared with female rats. We investigated specific tyrosine...
