What is the name of the blood vessel that feeds directly into the glomerular capillaries?The afferent arteries feed blood directly into the glomerular capillaries. Glomerular capillaries are located between afferent and efferent arterioles and are the site of glomerular filtration.
Which arteriole supplies blood to the glomerulus?The renal artery branches into smaller arteries called the afferent arterioles. The blood travels from the afferent arterioles to the glomerulus, located in the nephron.
Which small vessels deliver blood to the glomerulus?Blood flows into and away from the glomerulus through tiny arteries called arterioles, which reach and leave the glomerulus through the open end of the capsule.
What delivers blood to the glomerular capillary bed?The glomerulus, on the other hand, is sandwiched between two arterioles - afferent arterioles deliver blood to the glomerulus, while efferent arterioles carry it away.
