| arciform veins of kidney | Veins that parallel the arcuate arteries, receive blood from interlobular veins and straight venules, and terminate in interlobar veins. Synonym: venae arcuatae renis, arciform veins of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arcuate arteries of kidney | Curved arteries at the corticomedullary border, arising from interlobar arteries and giving rise to interlobular arteries. Synonym: arteriae arcuatae renis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| arterial segments of kidney | Regions of the kidney supplied by end arteries branching from the renal arteries; they are named anterior inferior segmentum, anterius superior segmentum, inferior segmentum, posterior segmentum, and superior segmentum. Synonym: segmenta renalia, arterial segments of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteries of kidney | The branches of the renal artery that supply the anatomical segments of kidney. Usually five in number, they are end arteries and give off interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries in sequence. The latter send afferent arterioles to the glomeruli as well as branches to the kidney capsule. The segmental arteries of the kidney are identified as: anterior inferior (arteriae segmenti anterioris inferioris renis ); anterior superior (arteriae segmenti anterioris superioris renis ); inferior (arteriae segmenti inferioris renis ); posterior (arteriae segmenti posterioris renis ); and superior (arteriae segmenti superioris renis ). Synonym: arteriae renis, arteries of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriolosclerotic kidney | A kidney in which there is sclerosis of the arterioles, i.e., arteriolar nephrosclerosis resulting from long-standing benign hypertension. Such kidney's tend to be pale red-brown or relatively gray, moderately reduced in size, and firmer than normal organs; the capsular surfaces are uniformly finely granular. Most of the arterioles are thickened and hyalinised, thereby resulting in varying degrees of narrowing of the lumens, ischemia, and fibrosis in the interstitial tissue, leading to uniform contraction of the cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arteriosclerotic kidney | A kidney in which there is sclerosis of arterial vessels larger than arterioles. Such kidney's are usually not significantly reduced in size, but are likely to be paler than usual; the capsular surface may be marked by a few, possibly several, conical, relatively deep V-shaped scars that result from fibrosis and ischemic atrophy of the region supplied by the affected vessel.

| artery of anterior inferior segment of kidney | Origin, anterior branch of renal. See: segmental arteries of kidney. Synonym: arteria segmenti anterioris inferioris renis, artery of anterior {inferior segment of kidney}. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery of anterior superior segment of kidney | Origin, anterior branch of renal. See: segmental arteries of kidney. Synonym: arteria segmenti anterioris superioris renis, artery of anterior {superior segment of kidney}. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery of inferior segment of kidney | Origin, anterior branch of renal. See: segmental arteries of kidney. Synonym: arteria segmenti inferioris renis, artery of inferior segment of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artery of posterior segment of kidney | Origin, continuation of the posterior branch of renal. See: segmental arteries of kidney. Synonym: arteria segmenti posterioris renis, artery of posterior segment of kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
