title: Variation of the structure and course of the interlobular arteries in human kidney.
abstract: In microangiograms and clearing preparations obtained from 25 adult human kidneys, the variations of number, origin, length and ramification pattern of the interlobular arteries were investigated. In the examined material, the interlobular arteries arose from the arcuate arteries at various angles, most frequently as a common trunk dividing in its course into 2 to 5 proper interlobular arteries. Their length was varied in the particular portions of the renal cortex and correlated with its thickness.
