Which blood vessel leaves the glomerular capsule?
A
The afferent arteriole
B
The efferent arteriole
C
The peritubular capillaries
D
The vasa recta
Explanation: 

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: -Final answer: Blood enters the glomerulus through its afferent arteriole and leaves the glomerulus through its efferent arteriole.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
