The following vessels are connected as below:
aorta ->renal arteries ->segmental arteries ->interlobular arteries ->arcuate arteries ->cortical radiata ->afferent arteries ->glomerulus.
1) aorta : arises from heart which carry blood from heart to the rest of the body
2) renal artery :it arises from the aorta which carry blood to kidney .it carry unfiltered blood .
3)segmental arteries : it arises from renal artery .it has 5 branches or segments.
4)interlobular arteries : it arises from segmental arteries. the interlobular arteries pass directly outward between the medullary rays to reach the fibrous tunic ,where they end in the capillary network of this part.
5)Arcuate arteries: it arises from interlobular arteries .it is also known as arciform arteries, are vessels of the renal circulation. they are located at the border of the renal cortex and renal medulla.
6) cortical radiata: it arises from arcuate arteries.
7) afferent arteries: it arises from interlobular arteries and also connects to glomerulus. they are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems .they play a important role in regulation of blood vessels.
8) glomerulus : it connects from afferent arteries.it is the filtering unit of kidney ,is a specialised bundle of capillaries that are uniquely situated between two resistance vessels.
