These anastomoses occur at different levels between the stellate veins (cortex)‚ between the arquate veins (base of the pyramids) and between the interlobar veins (close to the renal sinus). There are also anastomoses around the calyceal necks that join a longitudinal system

The purpose of this lab was to investigate whether veins affect photosynthesis rate. It was predicted that having veins would decrease the rate because chloroplast might be less frequent due to the vascular tissue. For this experiment‚ 4 groups were set up: veins and no veins in CO2 solution‚ and veins and no veins in distilled water‚ the distilled water groups served as controls. These 4 groups were placed under a light bulb in order for photosynthesis to occur. No disks experience movement in the

The blood pools in the veins causing them to become swollen and look bulging and twisted. They
