This capillary network surrounds the tubules and plays an important role in secretion and reabsorption, plus it delivers oxygen to kidney cells.
peritubular capillaries
The glomerulus
Blood leaves the glomerular capillaries via a second set of arterioles, the efferent arterioles, which deliver blood to the peritubular capillaries.
Yes. The movement of solutes into peritubular capillaries decreases the solute concentration of the tubular fluid but increases the solute concentration in the peritubular capillaries. As a result, water moves by osmosis into peritubular capillaries.
