Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The blood supply to the glomerulus ultimately comes from the renal arteries (one renal artery supplies each kidney), which comes off of the abdominal aorta. At the renal hilum, the renal artery branches many times as it travels through the kidney.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
