  2. Renal circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_circulation

    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 ...

  3. Renal vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_vein

    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]

  4. Interlobar veins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlobar_veins

    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]

  5. 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").

  7. Efferent arteriole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efferent_arteriole

    In the mammalian kidney, they follow two markedly different courses, depending on the location of the glomeruli from which they arise. In the mammalian kidney, about 15% of glomeruli lie close to the boundary between the renal cortex and renal medulla and are known as juxtamedullary glomeruli. The rest are simply undifferentiated cortical ...

  8. Arcuate vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcuate_vein

    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]

  9. Mammalian kidney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammalian_kidney

    Mammalian kidneys are susceptible to ischemic injury because mammals lack a renal-portal system, and as a result, vascular vasoconstriction in the glomeruli can lead to decreased blood supply to the entire kidney. The kidneys are susceptible to toxic injury, since toxins are reabsorbed in the tubules along with most of the filtered substances. [47]
