Which blood vessel leaves the glomerular capsule?
|
The afferent arteriole
|
|
The efferent arteriole
|
|
The peritubular capillaries
|
|
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.
