MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -[18] Once blood passes through the glomerular capillaries, it exits the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole. From the efferent arteriole, blood enters a second capillary network, the peritubular capillaries, before exiting the kidney through the renal vein and ultimately entering the inferior vena cava.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Blood enters the glomerulus through its afferent arteriole and leaves the glomerulus through its efferent arteriole.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Blood then leaves the kidney and enters the venous circulation.
