Question

Arrange the following in logical sequence.
Renal vein, Renal artery, Afferent arteriole, Efferent arteriole, Glomerulus (pathway of blood through glomerulus).

Open in App

Solution

The renal artery supplies blood to the glomerulus via afferent arteriole. Glomerular blood pressure filters the blood and nonfilterable components leave the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole that joins renal vein. So, the correct sequence is "Renal artery, Afferent arteriole, Glomerulus, Efferent arteriole, Renal vein".
