The straight venules of kidney are branches from the plexuses at the apices of the medullary pyramids, formed by the terminations of the vasa recta.
They run outward in a straight course between the tubes of the medullary substance, and joining, as above stated, the interlobular veins, form venous arcades; these in turn unite and form veins which pass along the sides of the renal pyramids.
The straight venules contains fenestrated capillaries.
