1 of 3Renal Circulation
- the renal artery breaks into 3 - 5 interlobar branches between pyramids.
- the interlobar arteries give arcuate branches at the bases of the pyramids at the corticomedullary boundary.
- the arcuate arteries ramify radially in the cortex into interlobular arteries.
- the interlobular arteries break into afferent arterioles of the glomeruli which divide into of capillaries ( = glomerulus ), these capillaries reunite to form efferent arterioles.
