The renal veins in the renal circulation, are large-calibre [1] veins that drain blood filtered by the kidneys into the inferior vena cava. There is one renal vein draining each kidney. [citation needed] Each renal vein is formed by the convergence of the interlobar veins of one kidney. [2]
The arcuate vein is a vessel of the renal circulation. It is located at the border of the renal cortex and renal medulla . [ citation needed ] Arcuate veins pass around the renal pyramids at the border between the renal cortex and renal medulla in an arch shape. [ 1 ]
After filtration occurs, the blood moves through a small network of venules that converge into interlobular veins. As with the arteriole distribution, the veins follow the same pattern: the interlobular provide blood to the arcuate veins then back to the interlobar veins, which come to form the renal vein exiting the kidney for transfusion for ...
Deleted erroneous label to external pudendal vein. Deleted inferior thyroid vein (Since there are many other veins on the anterior face of the neck of equal importance). Redraw last intercostal veins. Add temporal vein (not labelled). Correct position of superior and inferior epigastric veins. Corrections of arrows of external iliac vein.
From anterior to posterior, the renal vein exits, the renal artery enters, and the renal pelvis exits the kidney. On the left hand side the hilum is located at the L1 vertebral level and the right kidney at level L1-2. The lower border of the kidneys is usually alongside L3.
The arcuate arteries of the kidney, also known as arciform arteries, [1] are vessels of the renal circulation. They are located at the border of the renal cortex and renal medulla. They are named after the fact that they are shaped in arcs due to the nature of the shape of the renal medulla. Arcuate arteries arise from renal interlobar arteries ...

The interlobar veins are veins of the renal circulation which drain the renal lobes. [citation needed] They collect blood from the arcuate veins. The interlobar veins unite to form a renal vein. [1] Each interlobar vein passes along the edge of the renal pyramids. [2]
