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: 1) anterior inferior (arteriae segmenti anterioris inferioris renalis [TA]); 2) anterior superior (arteriae segmenti anterioris superioris renalis [TA]); 3) inferior (arteriae segmenti inferioris renalis [TA]); 4) posterior (arteriae segmenti posterioris renalis [TA]); and 5) superior (arteriae segmenti superioris renalis [TA]).
