Remarks on the structure and course of renal afferent glomerular arterioles.
In the material of 30 kidneys from corpses of adults of both sexes, the variations of ramification, course and structure of afferent glomerular arterioles in the superficial and juxtamedullary part of the renal cortex have been investigated using cleared preparation, histological, and SEM techniques. Within the afferent glomerular arterioles, two parts have been differentiated: the proximal, longer one, and the distal, shorter one. The afferent glomerular arterioles gave off branches draining directly to the peritubular capillary plexus.
