NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The pathway of blood through glomerulus is as follows: Renal artery ⇢ Afferent arteriole ⇢ Glomerulus ⇢ Efferent arteriole ⇢ Renal vein . Thus, kidneys receive blood from the renal artery that divides to form glomerulus. In this glomerulus, blood enters through afferent arteriole and leaves through efferent arteriole.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blood enters the glomerulus through a small artery supplying the glomerulus with unfiltered blood called the afferent arteriole. Another vessel, a small artery carrying filtered blood away from the glomerulus, is called the efferent arteriole.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are known as the glomerular capillaries. Blood arriving from the renal artery enters the capillaries through the afferent arteriole and blood moving toward the peritubular capillaries exits the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole.
