ZOO 3731 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Afferent Arterioles, Efferent Arteriole, Renal Artery
Document Summary
The arrangement of the nephrons within the kidney gives rise to gives rise to two distinct regions, Water and solutes are filtered through glomerulus as blood passes through it this filtered fluid is like plasma and it then passes through the tubules where various transport processes convert it to urine. Nephron-vascular route: entering the kidney the renal artery. Afferent arteriole: entering the kidney the renal artery. Afferent arteriole, brings blood to the afferent arterioles which deliver blood to the: glamorous to be filtered. Efferent arteriole transport blood from glomerulus efferent arteriole breaks down into. Peritubular capillaries what peritubular capillaries does: surround tubular part of the nephron and. 2. supply the blood for the exchange with the fluid in the tubular lumen. Peritubular capillaries join into venules which transport blood into the. Renal vein which is the way by which blood leaves the kidneys overall summary,
