Guys, I had some questions regarding this. Can someone clarify?

I remember that the Left Gonadal Vein will drain into the Left Renal Vein whereas the Right Gonadal Vein drains directly into IVC.

How about the the Gonadal Arteries? Do they both come directly from the Aorta? From the Renal Arteries? Or the left one comes directly from the Aorta and the right one comes from the Right Renal Artery (opposite of what happens with the veins)? :?

Thnx!

Gonadal Arteries are direct branches of abdominal aorta, other paired branches are renals and middle suprarenals. Unpaired branches of abd aorta - celiac, sup. and inferior mesenteric
