What else can I help you with?
What is the blood vessel that drains blood from the glomerulus?
Efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus
What arteriole supplies blood to the capillaries of the glomerulus?
afferent arteriole
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.
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.
What the arteriole leads into the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole leads into the glomerulus, which is a bundle of small blood vessels located within the Bowman's capsule in the kidney. This is where blood is filtered to form urine in the process of urine formation.
The blood vessel delivering blood directly to the glomerulus is the?
afferent arteriole
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.
In the kidney what structure that delivers blood to the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole.
The blood vessels that exchange substances with the nephron?
The afferent arteriole.
What is the vessel that branches to form theglomerulus?
Afferent Arteriole carries blood into the Glomerulus, the Efferent Arteriole carries blood away.
What vessel directly feeds into the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole feeds directly into the glomerulus.
Does dilation of the afferent arteriole decrease Glomular filtration rate?
No, dilation of the afferent arteriole typically increases glomerular filtration rate by allowing more blood flow into the glomerulus. Constriction of the afferent arteriole would decrease the glomerular filtration rate.
