Trace the pathway of blood through the kidneys, from renal artery to renal vein
What will be an ideal response?
From the renal artery, blood will travel through the segmental artery, interlobar artery, arcuate artery, then to the interlobular (cortical radiate) artery. Blood travels through the afferent arteriole to the glomerulus and exits via the efferent arteriole and through the peritubular capillaries. Peritubular venules link the blood flow into a venous pathway that leads to the interlobular (cortical radiate) vein. From the interlobular vein, blood exits the kidney via the arcuate vein, interlobar vein, and finally, the renal vein.
