Why At the arteriole end of the capillary more fluid leaves the capillary than enters as a result of differences in what?
The reason fluid leaves at the arterial end of the capillary bed and returns to the venous end of the capillary bed is the difference in hydrostatic pressure. This means the pressure against the inside of the vessel is greater that the pressure on the outside of the vessel on the arterial end and vice-versa on the venous end. Also, loss of water at the arterial end very slightly raises the oncotic pressure on the venous end, although to what degree this adds to the return of fluid to the vasculature is unknown.

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.
Why is capillary blood glucose value higher than venous blood glucose?
Because the glucose in capillary blood is not fully delivered to the cells yet. Once the blood leaves the capillary and enters the vein, the glucose has then been delivered to the cells and the blood is considered used.
Which part of the kidney filters blood?
The nephrons, specifically the glomerulus, are responsible for filtering blood in the kidney. Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole and leaves through the efferent arteriole after filtration occurs.
How does blood travel through the kidney?
Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery, which branches off into smaller arterioles called afferent arterioles that lead to the glomerulus. In the glomerulus, blood is filtered to remove waste products and excess substances. The filtered blood then leaves the kidney through the renal vein.

Blood leaves the capillary thorugh a tube called a?
Blood leaves a capillary through a venule, a small vein. At that point, the blood is making its journey back towards the heart.
