Question

multiple choice question
the segmental arteries branch to form the _______ arteries that travel through the renal columns.
o arcuate
o renal
o interlobar
o glomerular

Explanation:

The renal artery branches into segmental arteries. The segmental arteries then branch into interlobar arteries. These interlobar arteries travel through the renal columns (the columns of Bertin, which are extensions of cortical tissue that dip down into the medulla between the renal pyramids). Arcuate arteries are branches of interlobar arteries (they arch over the base of renal pyramids). Renal artery is the main artery bringing blood to the kidney. Glomerular arteries are related to the glomerulus (afferent and efferent arterioles).

Answer:

interlobar
