Glomerulus

Detailed explanation-1: -Afferent arterioles branch off which ultimately leads into the glomerulus of Bowman’s capsule. From here, efferent arterioles begin to form the venous system and subdivide into another set of capillaries known as the peritubular capillaries.
Detailed explanation-2: -The efferent arterioles of the undifferentiated cortical glomeruli are the most complex. Promptly on leaving the glomerulus they break up into capillaries and become part of a rich plexus of vessels surrounding the cortical portions of the renal tubules.
Detailed explanation-3: -The efferent arteriole then forms a second capillary network around the tubule, called the peritubular capillaries.
Detailed explanation-4: -Efferent arteriole. This vessel carries blood from the glomerulus to the peritubular capillaries or the vasa recta.
