Question

The blood vessel leading away from the glomerulus is

• A. Afferent arteriole
• B. Efferent arteriole
• C. Renal portal vein
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Efferent arteriole

The correct option is B

Explanation of the correct option:

1. The circulatory system's branches that carry blood throughout the human body are known as blood vessels.
2. These blood vessels convey blood cells, food, and oxygen to many tissues.
3. Blood is removed from the glomerulus by the efferent arteriole.
4. The glomerulus is a capillary tuft created by afferent arterioles and is a component of the nephron.

Explanation of the incorrect option:

Option A:

1. The afferent arteriole is the blood vessel that feeds the glomerulus with blood.
2. The significance of renal arterioles in influencing glomerular filtration is crucial.

Option C:

During dehydration, the renal portal system supplies blood to tubule cells to prevent them from succumbing to ischemic necrosis.

Final answer: The blood vessel leading away from the glomerulus is the Efferent arteriole.
