they are just smaller versions of ateries
what is the actual size of arteriole
Efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus
glomerulus. The afferent arteriole leads to a ball of capillaries called a glomerulus which is enclosed in a nephron structure called the glomerular capsule. Blood leaves the glomerulus by way of the efferent arteriole.
afferent arteriole
The afferent arteriole supplies blood to the capillaries in the glomerulus of the kidneys. The efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus.
Yes, it can be easily said that an arteriole is a miniature form of an artery.
The afferent arteriole leads into the glomerulus, which is a bundle of small blood vessels located within the Bowman's capsule in the kidney. This is where blood is filtered to form urine in the process of urine formation.
No, the efferent arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus in the nephron. Blood entering the glomerulus via the afferent arteriole is filtered, and the efferent arteriole carries blood containing the filtered substances away for further processing in the renal tubule.
The distinctive features of an arteriole include small diameter and its branching into capillaries.

reducing afferent arteriole radius decreases filtration rate
