In-shorts
Arcuate arteries of the kidney – known as arciform arteries
| 1 | Lines of Zahn | characteristic of thrombi |
| 2 | Avascular plane of Brodel | section of renal parenchyma between 2/3 anterior and 1/3 posterior kidney on the cross-section that is relatively avascular |
| 3 | Columns of Morgagni | Anal columns – vertical folds, produced by an infolding of the mucous membrane and some of the muscular tissue in the upper half of the lumen of the anal canal. |
| 4 | Column of Bertin | Medullary extension of the renal cortex in between the renal pyramids. |
Brödel’s line
- Avascular plane approximately at the lateral margin of the kidney,
- Extending from the superior pole of the kidney to the lower pole of the kidney
- Limited by the circulation of the apical segmental artery to lower segmental artery
