The corrosion technique was used to demonstrate the presence of the "sublobular artery", a constant vessel with a special profile of the dog kidney, generating after two divisions the so-called interlobular arteries as a third generation of branches. More rarely arteriae interlobulares emerge also directly from the arcuate artery. The sublobular arteries (= parent vessels of the interlobular arteries) are characterized by their particular origin, branching type, and by having no or sporadically disposed glomeruli. For this reason, the authors suggest the acception of the term "arteria sublobularis" in the international nomenclature of renal vessels. According to authors' opinion the dog kidney is composed of a number of conical vascular-parenchymatous units, each containing in their axis a sublobular artery of the second order ("conical" architectonics of the renal cortex).
采用腐蚀技术来证实“小叶下动脉”的存在，这是犬肾中一种恒定的血管，具有特殊的形态，经过两次分支后产生所谓的小叶间动脉，作为第三代分支。小叶间动脉也更罕见地直接从弓形动脉发出。小叶下动脉（=小叶间动脉的母血管）的特点是其特殊的起源、分支类型，且没有或偶尔有散在分布的肾小球。因此，作者建议在肾血管的国际命名法中采用“小叶下动脉”这一术语。根据作者的观点，犬肾由多个圆锥形血管实质单位组成，每个单位在其轴线上都有一条二级小叶下动脉（肾皮质的“圆锥形”结构）。
