Question

From where does the peritubular capillaries arise from?

• A. Afferent arterioles
• B. Efferent arterioles
• C. Renal Pelvis
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Efferent arterioles

The efferent arteriole emerging from the glomerulus forms a fine capillary network around the renal tubule called the peritubular capillaries.
Peritubular capillaries surround the cortical parts of the proximal and distal tubules. It helps in the reabsorption and secretion between the blood and inner lumen of nephron.
