The glomerulus is the cluster of capillaries that branch off the renal artery in the kidneys. It is here that filtrationtakes place - small molecules such as glucose, water, ions and amino acids diffuse through the narrow capillary walls and into the nephron.
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.
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.
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.

The vascular part of the nephron in the kidney is called the renal corpuscle. It consists of the glomerulus, a network of capillaries, and Bowman's capsule, a structure that surrounds the glomerulus. This is where the process of blood filtration in the kidney begins.
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.
The nephron process is where the blood enters the glomerulus and is absorbed. It is then processed through the kidney's and turned into urine.

Afferent - go into the glomerulus and efferent - go out of glomerulus

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.
The filtration of blood in the kidney occurs in the glomerulus, a network of tiny blood vessels located within the nephron. Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole, where high pressure forces water, electrolytes, and small molecules through the glomerular filtration membrane into the Bowman's capsule, forming the initial filtrate. This process is crucial for regulating blood composition and removing waste products.
