Peritubular capillaries
the flow of blood through the nephron is : enters through the afferent arteriole, then flows through the glomerulus and into the efferent arteriole. Blood then enters the peritubular capillaries and the vasa recta and then flows through the cortex and medulla of the kidneys close to the tubules Answer: so the flow is afferent arteriole, efferent arteriole, peritubular capillaries, vasa recta
Blood flows through the kidneys in the following systematic way. It flows from Renal Artery to segmental artery to lobar artery to interlobar artery to arculate artery to interlobular artery to afferent arteriole to glomerular capillaries to efferent arteriole to peritubular capillaries to vasa recta to interlobular vein to arcuate vein to interlobar vein and finally to the renal vein.
The average velocity of the blood as it flows through a capillary is 0.00047 m/s.
That's what I want to know.
Capillaries is the answer in this question
The blood flows from the left ventricle into elastic arteries (aortic trunk), then to the muscular arteries (external carotid artery), then to arterioles, then to the capillary beds.
Blood flows slowly through capillaries. This speed allows for increased efficiency of diffusion of materials.
A portal system is a special type of blood circulation where blood from one capillary bed flows into a second capillary bed before returning to the heart. The hepatic portal system, for example, carries nutrient-rich blood from the digestive organs to the liver for processing. This differs from normal venous return flow where blood goes directly from capillaries to veins and then back to the heart.
Blood flows from arteries to veins or from arterioles (small arteries) to venules (small veins) in a capillary bed.
The capillarys are in the lungs and blood flows trough them.As far as I know, blood does not flow back through the capillarys so it most likely does not flow back through the capillary beds.
Generally speaking, the Left Coronary Artery flows to the Anterior Inter-ventricular Artery, which is located at the Apex of the heart. It then De-oxygenates in the capillary beds where it flows to the Great Cardiac Vein.Finally blood flows to the Coronary sinus which immediately enters the Right Atrium.
Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Located in pyramids of medulla (triangular sections of the kidney). Nephron contains renal corpuscles (Glomerular capusule aka: Bowmans Capsule) which contain renal tubules (Glomerulus-filtrates blood as is flows through kidney, afferent/efferent). Waste by way of loop of Henle (exits capsule), go to collecting ducts. Kidney-renal corpuscles-afferent arteriole-bowmans capsule-glomerulus-efferent arteriole-proximal convoluted tubule-descending loop of henle-thin segment-acscending loop of henle-distal convoluted tubule-collecting ducts-major calyces-renal pelvis-uretER-urinary bladder-urethra (female 4cm long- con't from urethra-out) (male 20cm long-urethra made up of three parts-con't from urethra-prostatic urethra-membranous urethra-penile urethra-out) I believe that is correct. What confused me is the afferent/efferent/tubules. They are three separate passage ways. Aff/Eff is for blood. Afferent is where blood enters-waste goes to capsule-waste leaves capsule by 1st entering proximal tubule of loop of henle-blood that was "not" waste goes back to the body by way of efferent. Notice the difference in female and male.
