Question

The blood vessel taking blood/forming glomerulus into Bowman's capsule is

• A. Afferent arteriole
• B. Efferent arteriole
• C. Renal vein
• D. Renal portal vein

Answer 1

The correct option is A Afferent arteriole

Nephrons are the cells of kidney which are composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle is also known Malpighian body. It consists of cup like double walled structure known as Bowman’s capsule and the bunch of capillaries present in the Bowman’s capsule is known as glomerulus. The blood enters the glomerulus under high pressure from the afferent arteriole and leaves through efferent arteriole.

So, the correct answer is 'Afferent arteriole'.
