Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The arcuate arteries then enter the nephrons as the interlobular arteries, and finally end in the glomerulus as the afferent and efferent arterioles.
Detailed explanation-2: -These radial arteries give rise to short lateral branches called afferent arterioles that supply blood to the glomeruli.
Detailed explanation-3: -The cortical radiate arteries give off afferent arterioles that deliver blood to the Bowman’s capsules of nephrons. Within a Bowman’s capsule, an afferent arteriole forms a tuft of high-pressure capillaries called the glomerulus.
Detailed explanation-4: -The afferent arterioles branch from the renal artery, which supplies blood to the kidneys.
