Solution

The blood vessel ‘A’ represents the renal vein and ‘B’ represents the renal artery. Hence the blood vessel ‘A’ contains deoxygenated blood with a low concentration of urea and glucose as compared to the renal artery. The blood vessel ‘B’ contains oxygenated blood with a high concentration of urea and glucose.
