Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The structure that takes blood flow to the glomerulus for filtration is known as ____
A
Renal vein
B
Peritubular capillaries
C
Afferent arteriole
D
Efferent arteriole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is ‘Afferent arteriole’.

Detailed explanation-2: -The afferent arteriole is an arteriole that feeds blood into the glomerulus. The renal arterioles play a central role in determining glomerular hydraulic pressure, which facilitates glomerular filtration.

Detailed explanation-3: -The afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems. They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism. Afferent arterioles. Scheme of renal tubules and its vascular supply.

Detailed explanation-4: -The afferent arteriole is the arteriole that brings blood to the glomerulus. It is larger in diameter than the efferent arteriole. The efferent arteriole is the arteriole that carries blood away from the glomerulus. It is smaller in diameter than the afferent arteriole.
