Renal capillaries, aka the glomerulus, where nitrogenous wastes and excess water in the blood plasma diffuse over to the nephron to be filtered and excreted.
The afferent arteriole.

Selective reabsorption
There's the afferent arteriole which goes to the glomerulus and the efferent arterioles which comes out of the glomerulus. These arterioles then branch out surrounding the nephron, these are called peritubular capillaries and they allow for selective reabsorption of substances as well as secretion.
The capillaries are the small blood vessels that surround each alveolus, or air sac.
The smallest blood vessels are called capillaries.
The tiny blood vessels that surround the alveoli arecalled alveolar capillaries
Capillaries are the blood vessels that surround the alveoli, or air sacs, in your lungs. These capillaries are the site of gas exchange.
Reabsorption
False. Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called arteries. Blood vessels that carry blood to the heart are called veins.
