The correct sequence of blood flow to the kidney starts with the renal artery, which branches into segmental arteries (4), then into interlobar arteries (3), followed by arcuate arteries (2), and cortical radiate arteries (6). Blood then flows into afferent arterioles (1), through the glomerulus (5), exits via efferent arterioles (7), and finally moves through the peritubular capillaries (8).
