The arcuate vein is a vessel of the renal circulation. It is located at the border of the renal cortex and renal medulla.[citation needed] Arcuate veins pass around the renal pyramids at the border between the renal cortex and renal medulla in an arch shape.[1] Arcuate veins receive blood from cortical radiate veins, and in turn deliver blood into the arcuate veins.[2]
