The afferent arteriole feeds directly into the glomerulus.
The blood vessel that carries blood to the glomerulus is called the afferent vessel. But the glomerulus is not close ended nad the vessel that leaves it, called the efferent vessel, carries on beside the nephron and collects the components that are reabsorbed.
The Bowman's capsule surrounds the glomerulus, and the glomerulus filtrate enters the top of the nephron.
The glomerulus, it is part of the nephron.

glomeruli
afferent arteriole
Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole and drains through the efferent arteriole.

Hydrostatic pressure. The vessel draining the glomerulus has a smaller internal diameter than the vessel feeding it. This means that blood doesn't exit the glomerulus as quickly as it enters. This creates a pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, within the glomerular capillaries and that pressure forces the fluids and many solutes into the glomerular capsule surrounding the glomerulus.
Efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus
Ans: Different arteriole the different arteriole carries blood from the branch of the renal artery into the glomerulus, the different arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus and back into the branch of the anal vein.
arterial blood pressure and osmotic force
Afferent Arteriole carries blood into the Glomerulus, the Efferent Arteriole carries blood away.
Bowmans capsule is part of the functioanl unit of the kidney called the nephron. The kidney job in the body is to filter blood and remove wastes via the urine. At the very start of each nephron is a very smalle blood network called the glomerulus. The diameter pf the vessel leaving the glomerulus (the efferent vessel) is smaller than that coming to the glomerulus (the afferent vessel) and so a large pressure occurs. This helps push the wastes as well as some nutrients and a lot of water out of the glomerulus. To stop if all just floating of into the body a a structue surround the glomerulus and takes up all the thing the glomerulus lets out. This is the glomerulus and it passes what it gets on through the vessels of the nephron where much is reabsorbed and the rest is excreted as urine.
