In Depth: Vessels. The kidneys are important to the bodyâs production of urine, but they also play a role in regulating important components of the blood. Blood comes to the kidneys from the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava, the large arteries and veins that are part of the ascending aorta. Oxygenated blood is brought to the kidneys from a small branch called the renal artery.
  Veins take blood to the heart, arteries take blood away from the heart. The vessels that carry blood to the heart are called veins. Those that supply the body with blood â¦ from the heart are called arteries.Examples are the jugular veins that return blood from the head, and the carotid arteries that supply blood to the head.wo other heart valves separate the ventricles and the large blood vessels that carry blood leaving the heart.
