Diagram of renal artery and circumferential peri-arterial nerve location. Note the distal regions of renal artery had sympathetic peri-renal nerves located closer to the renal artery as compared to proximal and middle segments, however, the nerves were far smaller and fewer in the distal regions compared to proximal and middle regions.
