This study was carried out to determine intrarenal segmentation of the renal arteries of kidney of Kangal dog, Corrosion cast method has been carried out on 10 kidneys. The left renal artery was longer than the right one. The renal arteries divided into the dorsal and ventral branches. Both dorsal and ventral branches gave off the interlobar, arcuate and interlobular arteries, respectively. The right dorsal branch gave off 5 to 6 segmental arteries, the right ventral branch 4 to 6 segmental arteries, left dorsal branch 5-7 segmental arteries and the left ventral branch 6 to 8 segmental arteries. No anastomoses were seen between the renal arteries and their branches.
