British Census Commissioners in 1841 had declared the population of Ireland to be 8,175,124. During the Famine years, 1845-50, Ireland's population declined in the millions due to deaths from starvation and disease and from mass emigration to North America and England.
Located at the rear of the abdominal cavity in the retroperitoneal space, the kidneys receive blood from the paired renal arteries, and drain into the paired renal veins. Each kidney excretes urine into a ureter which empties into the bladder. Renal physiology is the study of kidney function, while nephrology is the medical specialty concerned with kidney diseases. Diseases of the kidney are diverse, but individuals with kidney disease frequently display characteristic clinical features.
Answers. Best Answer: RENAL VEIN = are veins that drain the kidney. They connect the kidney to the inferior vena cava (the large vein that carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the right atrium of the heart). RENAL ARTERY = supply the kidneys with blood.They carry a large portion of total blood flow to the kidneys.Up to a third of total cardiac output can pass through the renal arteries to be filtered by the kidneys. Arteries = has thick intermediate layers of elastic and mascular fibers.ENAL ARTERY = supply the kidneys with blood. They carry a large portion of total blood flow to the kidneys.
