BACKGROUNDNutrient artery is the major source of blood supply to the long bone, which enters through the nutrient foramen. Lack of adequate vascular supply can significantly delay or prevent fracture healing.The aim of this study is to study the number, location and direction of nutrient foramina of human upper limb long bones (Humerus, Radius and Ulna).
BACKGROUNDA single renal artery supplies each kidney on either side after arising from the abdominal aorta. Presence of accessory renal vessels is the most common variation in the blood supply of kidney. Aim-The present study was done to study the variations in the pattern of arrangement of hilar structures, blood supply of kidneys and their embryological & clinical significance.
