The arcuate arteries give rise to the interlobular arteries, which further branch into the afferent arterioles that supply the glomeruli of the nephrons in the kidneys. Additionally, the arcuate arteries may also give off small branches that supply the renal cortex. These branches play a crucial role in providing blood to the renal structures involved in filtration and urine formation.
