unlike other capillaries glomerulus is connected to arterioles on both sides.It's pressure is higher than that of other capillaries and remains almost constant throughout the length of the capillaries.
The first capillary bed in the series is the glomerular capillary, where filtration occurs. The efferent arteriole on the distal end of the glomerular capillary. Objects it to the next capillary bed in the series: the peritubular capillary. This is where secretion and reabsorbtion take place. This type of system is an example of an arterial portal system.

Catherine I. Whiteside has written: 'Glomerular and postglomerular capillary permselectivity in the dog kidney'
Capillary refill refers to how quickly the color returns to the external capillary bed following pressure that has been applied to an area. A brisk capillary refill means that the color returned to the capillary bed rather quickly.
The diameter of the afferent renal arteriole narrows progressively more and more into the glomerular capillaries, with the same blood flow, leading to an increase in pressure within the glomerulus. This is so that the high pressure can force solutes and water across into the Bowman's capsule for the renal tubules.

It is unique from other capillary beds in that it is supplied with and drained by arterioles, the afferent arteriole and efferent arteriole, respectively.
There is no portal artery. A portal vein connects one capillary bed to a second capillary bed. (in series)
Pressure at capillary bed varies from 32mmHg at the arteriolar end to about 10mmHg at venous end, with an average of 17mmHg
capillary bed of the right kidney---venules---veins---right atrium---right ventircle---pulmonary arteries---capillary of the lungs---pulmonary veins---left atrium---left ventricle---aorta---arteries---arterioles---capillary bed of the left kidney (ALMOST positive about the answer, I just had a test on it. Hope it helps!)
