As blood flows through the kidney, blood from the efferent arteriole flows directly into the

A) peritubular capillaries.
B) glomerulus.
C) renal vein.
D) afferent arteriole.
E) cortical radiate vein.

Peritubular Capillaries

Tiny blood vessels that surround the tubules in the kidney, involved in reabsorption and secretion during urine formation.

Efferent Arteriole

A small blood vessel that leads away from the glomerulus of the kidney after filtration has occurred, playing a role in regulating blood pressure and filtration rate.

Cortical Radiate Vein

Veins within the kidney that transport blood away from the nephrons.
