Detailed explanation-1: -The glomerulus is a tuft of capillaries located within Bowman’s capsule within the kidney. Glomerular mesangial cells structurally support the tufts. Blood enters the capillaries of the glomerulus by a single arteriole called an afferent arteriole and leaves by an efferent arteriole.
Detailed explanation-2: -Blood Supply and Lymphatics The afferent arterioles ultimately branch off of these arcuate arteries to supply blood to the glomerular capillaries within the glomerulus. [18] Once blood passes through the glomerular capillaries, it exits the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Glomerulus The term glomerulus, often used to imply the renal corpuscle, is a knot of capillaries that links the afferent and efferent arterioles within the renal corpuscle.
Detailed explanation-4: -The glomerular capillaries are a high-pressure capillary bed that is formed between the afferent and efferent arterioles.
