Blood flow to the kidneys begins through the Renal Artery.
The Renal Arteries then split off to Segmental Arteries.
The Segmental Arteries branch off into interlobar arteries which pass through the Renal Pyramids.
Each pyramid at the base of the interlobar arteries branch off to arcute arteries.
Off the Arcute Arteries are little interlobular arteries - they pass through the renal lobules.
They then enter the renal cortex and branch off to afferent arterioles. Each Nephron recieves one afferent arteriole which divide into a capillary network called the glomerulus.
