Detailed explanation-1: -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-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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Afferent arteriole connects the renal artery to the glomerulus and carries blood containing nitrogenous wastes to the glomerulus with high pressure.
