Here efferent arteriole word is used indicating 'portal' ciculation. It is should be diagonally apposite to afferent arteiole. With most of the 'fluid' filtered through glomeruli. Numbering about 1 million in each kidny. ( kidney filters about 180 liters/ day of fluid filtered through glomeruli and reabsorb more than 180 liters of it. )

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 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.


What is the arteriole that contains cleaner blood because it has been filtered by the glomerulus?

The efferent arteriole contains cleaner blood after filtration by the glomerulus because some waste products and excess substances have been removed during the process of blood filtration in the kidneys. This filtered blood then continues on to be circulated throughout the body.


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.


Why is the afferent arteriole larger than than the efferent arteriole?

Lot of fluid is filtered out in the glomeruli. Almost 180 litres of fluid per day is filtered in glomeruli. So to maintain the blood pressure in afferent arterioles, you need to have efferent arterioles with less diameter.

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.

Afferent Arteriole carries blood into the Glomerulus, the Efferent Arteriole carries blood away.


An obstruction in the glomerulus would affect the flow of blood into the?

Efferent arteriole


Blood from the efferent arteriole flows into this capillary bed?

Peritubular capillaries


An obstruction in the glomerulus would affect the flow of blood into what?

efferent arteriole


What feeds the glomerulus and what drains the glomerulus?

Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole and drains through the efferent arteriole.


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 is the immediate destination of blood leaving the glomerulus?

efferent arteriole to peritubular capillaries.
