Thearcuate vein is a vessel of therenal circulation. It is located at the border of therenal cortex andrenal medulla.[citation needed] Arcuate veins pass around therenal pyramids at the border between therenal cortex andrenal medulla in an arch shape.[1] Arcuate veins receive blood fromcortical radiate veins, and in turn deliver blood into thearcuate veins.[2]
