Detailed explanation-1: -These blood vessels convey blood cells, food, and oxygen to many tissues. Blood is removed from the glomerulus by the efferent arteriole.
Detailed explanation-2: -Blood flows into and away from the glomerulus through tiny arteries called arterioles, which reach and leave the glomerulus through the open end of the capsule.
Detailed explanation-3: -peritubular capillaries receives blood from the efferent arteriole.
Detailed explanation-4: -Blood flows from the arcuate artery into the afferent arteriole which brings blood into the glomerulus (a capillary bed) The efferent arteriole carries blood out of the glomerulus and becomes the peritubular capillaries that surround the nephron.
Detailed explanation-5: -The efferent arterioles form a convergence of the capillaries of the glomerulus, and carry blood away from the glomerulus that has already been filtered. They play an important role in maintaining the glomerular filtration rate despite fluctuations in blood pressure.
