Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cortical radiate (interlobar) veins are the smallest veins that drain the blood from the peritubular and vasa recta capillary beds in the renal cortex. The blood then flows from interlobar veins into the arcuate veins, then into the interlobular veins (also called segmental veins), and finally into the renal vein.
