PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -[18] Once blood passes through the glomerular capillaries, it exits the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole. From the efferent arteriole, blood enters a second capillary network, the peritubular capillaries, before exiting the kidney through the renal vein and ultimately entering the inferior vena cava.

Detailed explanation-2: -The glomerulus (A) is formed by the capillaries which arise from the afferent arteriole and then coalesce to form the efferent arteriole. They are known as the glomerular capillaries.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Afferent arteriole’.
