PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Peritubular capillaries are tiny blood vessels in your kidneys. They filter waste from your blood so the waste can leave your body through urine (pee). Peritubular capillaries also reabsorb nutrients your body needs to work properly, such as minerals.

Detailed explanation-2: -The efferent arteriole emerging from the glomerulus forms a fine capillary network around the renal tubule called the peritubular capillaries. A minute vessel of this network runs parallel to the Henle’s loop and forms a U shaped vasa recta. So, vasa recta are tubular capillaries around loop of Henle.
