PATHOLOGY

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: -The renal artery branches into smaller arteries called the afferent arterioles. The blood travels from the afferent arterioles to the glomerulus, located in the nephron. The glomerulus is a cluster of small blood vessels where filtration of water and removal of waste occurs.
