Question

Blood vessel leading into Bowman's capsule are called

• A. renal vein
• B. renal artery
• C. efferent arteriole
• D. afferent arteriole

Answer 1

The correct option is D afferent arteriole

Blood enters the glomerulus through a small artery supplying the glomerulus with unfiltered blood called the afferent arteriole. Another vessel, a small artery carrying filtered blood away from the glomerulus, is called the efferent arteriole. The renal arteries normally arise off the side of the abdominal aorta, immediately below the superior mesenteric artery, and supply the kidneys with blood. The renal veins are veins that drain the kidney. They connect the kidney to the inferior vena cava. They carry the blood filtered by the kidney.
