kidney arcuate artery

One of the curved arteries at the corticomedullary border of the kidney that arise from the interlobar arteries and give rise to the interlobular arteries. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the kidney arcuate artery is

What the kidney arcuate artery connects to

The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of cardiovascular system, cortex of kidney and kidney, and 1 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the kidney arcuate artery. 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.
