  2. Vasa recta (kidney) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_recta_(kidney)

    The vasa recta of the kidney, (vasa recta renis) are the straight arterioles, and the straight venules of the kidney, – a series of blood vessels in the blood supply of the kidney that enter the medulla as the straight arterioles, and leave the medulla to ascend to the cortex as the straight venules. (Latin: vās, "vessel"; rēctus, "straight").

  3. Vasa recta (intestines) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_recta_(intestines)

    Vasa recta are straight arteries arising from arterial arcades (anastomoses of the jejunal and ileal arteries, branches of superior mesenteric artery) in the mesentery of the jejunum and ileum that supply the jejunum and ileum. [1] The vasa recta of the jejunum are long and few, compared to the ileum where they are numerous and short.

  4. Peritubular capillaries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peritubular_capillaries

    Peritubular capillaries surround the cortical parts of the proximal and distal tubules, while the vasa recta go into the medulla to approach the loop of Henle. [1] [2] About one-fifth of the blood plasma is filtered into Bowman's capsule as the blood passes through the glomerular capillaries; four-fifths continues into the peritubular capillaries.

  5. Arcuate arteries of the kidney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcuate_arteries_of_the_kidney

    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 ...

  7. Arterial arcades - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_arcades

    Nearest the duodenum the mesenteric loops are primary, the vasa recta are long and regular in distribution, and the translucent spaces (lunettes) are extensive. Toward the ileocolic junction, secondary and tertiary loops are observed, the vessels are smaller and become obscured by numerous fat-tabs.

    An ancient shipwreck that dates back to the 7th century B.C.E. has been removed from waters off Spain, two decades after its discovery in 1994.

  9. Mammalian kidney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammalian_kidney

    The descending vasa recta, ascending vasa recta vessels, and the loop of Henle together form the countercurrent system of the kidney. In the afferent arteriole, blood is supplied at high pressure, which promotes filtration, and in the efferent arteriole, it is at low pressure, which promotes reabsorption .
