The renal glomerulus is a small convoluted mass of capillaries, a network of vascular tufts, encased in the malpighian or Bowman's capsule.

What vascular structure is found between the afferent and efferent arterioles?
peritubular capillaries
Know relationships and differences between Afferent vs efferent arterioles?
afferent glomerular arteriole a branch of an interlobular artery that goes to a renal glomerulus.efferent glomerular arteriole one arising from a renal glomerulus, breaking up into capillaries to supply renal tubules.Remember because they are arterioles NOT venules they they both carry blood away from the heart.
What type of neuron is also called an interneurn because it carries messages between the other two types of neurons Associative Afferent Efferent?
Efferent
Functional difference between a motor and a relay neuron?
Motor neurons are the efferent neuron which carry impulses from CNS to muscles while relay neurons also known as Inter neurons connect both afferent and efferent neurons.
Why are capillaries important to the human body?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body and they connect arterioles (small arteries) to venules (small veins). Capillaries are the site of gas and nutrient/waste exchange between the blood and the surrounding tissues.
What vascular structure is found between the afferent and efferent arterioles?
peritubular capillaries
What Blood vessel located between afferent and efferent arterioles?
Glomerulus capillary

What is the difference between afferent and efferent arteries?
Efferent arteries take blood away from an organ and afferent arteries bring blood to an organ.
Difference between afferent and efferent in kidney?
Efferent means going away from and afferent is going toward. The afferent arteriole of the kidney carrys blood toward the glomerulus, whereas the efferent arteriole carrys blood away from the glomerulus.
What type of neuron is also called an interneurn because it carries messages between the other two types of neurons Associative Afferent Efferent?
Efferent
What is the difference between afferent and efferent duct?
Afferent means going towards a center, in this case, a vessel going towards a lymph node. Efferent means going away from center, in this case, these are vessels associated with the thymus and spleen. A vessel can be both afferent and efferent if it leaves a peripheral lymph node (where it's efferent to the node) and connects to a greater node, where it becomes an afferent vessel as it enters the greater node or a lymphatic duct.
What connects the arterioles and venules?
Capillaries are microscopic blood vessels that connect arterioles to venules. These blood vessels facilitate the movement between the blood and the tissues.
What is the difference between the glomerulus and other capillaries in the body?
It is drained by an efferent arteriole
What are the main responsibility of the capillaries?
To exchange oxygen and nutrients between arterioles and venules
What is the difference between the efferent and the efferent neurons?
they don't have a difference Unless you are talking about the direction of their signal. Afferent is taking information toward the central nervous system while efferent is taking information away from the central nervous system.
What is a tiny blood vessel that connects in arteriole to a venule?
The blood vessels in between arteries and veins are the capillaries. But, they do not link them together, rather, they both have openings, through their capillaries, into the interstitial space which is the space between the cells of the tissues of the body.
