renal afferent arteriole in dogs
The blood vessels that branch from the kidney interlobular artery, convey blood to the glomerular capillaries, and play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the renal afferent arteriole is
The blood vessels that branch from the kidney interlobular artery, convey blood to the glomerular capillaries, and play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the renal afferent arteriole is
It sits in the abdomen and trunk, within the cardiovascular and urinary systems. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.
What the renal afferent arteriole connects to
The atlas records 7 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of renal corpuscle.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the renal afferent arteriole. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
Also called
Also recorded as afferent arteriole, afferent glomerular arteriole, afferent glomerular arteriole of kidney, arteriola glomerularis afferens renis, kidney afferent arteriole and arteriola glomerularis afferens. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
