What else can I help you with?
Which arteriole supplies blood to the capillary of the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole supplies blood to the capillaries in the glomerulus of the kidneys. The efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus.
What is the immediate destination of blood leaving the glomerulus?
efferent arteriole to peritubular capillaries.
Where does the transition from an afferent arteriole to an efferent arteriole occur?
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.
What is the blood vessel that drains blood from the glomerulus?
Efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus
The efferent arteriole carries blood from the glomerulus to the?
The efferent arteriole carries blood from the glomerulus to the peritubular capillaries in the kidney. This allows for the exchange of substances between the blood and the renal tubules during urine formation.
What feeds the glomerulus and what drains the glomerulus?
Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole and drains through the efferent arteriole.
What is the structure that drains blood from the glomerulus in the kidney?
The structure that drains blood from the glomerulus in the kidney is the efferent arteriole. This arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus and plays a crucial role in regulating blood flow and pressure within the kidney.
Trace the flow of blood through the nephron?
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
What type of blood vessel is likely to be found in 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.
Does the efferent arteriole take blood to the nephron?
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.
Explain how the blood vessels associated with the renal corpuscle help to maintain a relatively high blood pressure within the glomerulus?
The cluster of capillaries that forms a glomerulus arises from an afferent arteriole. After passing through the glomerular capillaries, blood (minus any filtered fluid) enters an efferent arteriole whose diameter is smaller than that of the afferent vessel. This is instead of entering a venule, the usual circulatory route. The efferent arteriole resists blood flow to some extent, which backs up blood into the glomerulus, increasing pressure in the glomerular capillary.
What vessel directly feeds into the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole feeds directly into the glomerulus.
