Standard references state that arcuate veins at the corticomedullary junction form continuous arcades. Because some preliminary anatomic observations seemed to disagree with this traditional teaching, the arcuate veins were systematically studied in normal human kidneys. Microangiographic studies indicate that, unlike the occasional anastomoses that exist between proximal interlobar and segmental veins, arcuate venous communications in humans are extremely rare. Arcuate veins, like the corresponding arteries, should be considered "end vessels."
标准参考文献指出，皮质髓质交界处的弓形静脉形成连续的弓状结构。由于一些初步的解剖学观察结果似乎与这一传统观点不一致，因此对正常人类肾脏中的弓形静脉进行了系统研究。微血管造影研究表明，与近端叶间静脉和段间静脉之间偶尔存在的吻合不同，人类弓形静脉之间的交通极为罕见。与相应的动脉一样，弓形静脉应被视为“终末血管”。
