Blood first enters the kidney through the renal artery (4), which then branches into interlobar arteries (3). These arteries then branch into arcuate arteries (2), which give rise to cortical radiate arteries (6) that lead to the afferent arterioles (1) that feed the glomeruli (5). After passing through the glomerular capillaries, blood exits as the efferent arteriole (7), which then branches into the peritubular capillaries (8) that supply the kidney tissue.
