Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole at the vascular pole, undergoes filtration in the glomerular capillaries, and exits the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole at the vascular pole.
Detailed explanation-2: -Afferent arterioles deliver blood to the glomerulus, and efferent arterioles carry blood away from the glomerulus. Afferent arterioles are larger in diameter than efferent arterioles. Afferent arterioles are sub-branches of the renal artery, and efferent arterioles converge as sub-branches of the renal vein.
