Kaylie Mccarty · Answer 1

It enters the efferent arterioles.

Explanation: The glomerulus receive blood supply from afferent arterioles.

The glomerulus filter blood and remove glucose, amino acids, water, salts, urea. Due to the high blood pressure, the solutes are forced to move the glomerulus space. It immediately enter the afferent arterioles and it passes through the tubule and specific substance are reabsorbed back to the blood.

Explanation:

The kidneys have a functional unit called the nephrons. Each nephron has a filter called the glomerulus. The glomerulus is an entanglement of blood capillaries encapsulated in the glomerular capsule. The glomerulus receives blood from the renal vessels. The capillaries of the glomerulus have tiny pores on their walls and they form a capillary bed where filtration occurs.

The filtered water and nitrogenous waste leaves the glomerular capillaries and immediately enter the proximal convoluted tubules where reabsorption occurs. From the proximal convoluted tubules it moves to the loop of Henle to the distal convoluted tubules and then to the collecting duct.
