Question

The blood vessel that carries blood into the glomerulus is called the:

afferent arteriole
O vasa recta
peritubular capillary
O
efferent arteriole
arcuate artery
interlobular artery

Answer 1

Afferent arteriole

Step-by-step explanation:

A glomerulus is formed from the afferent blood vessels, a branch from the renal artery. The afferent arteriole collects blood from the glomerulus and extends to the renal tubule where it divides into capillaries that ramify the tubule. The afferent arteriole is wider than the efferent arteriole.
