Afferent arterioles Afferent arterioles. The afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems. They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism. The afferent arterioles branch from the renal artery, which supplies blood to the kidneys.

Glomerular Filtration Rate To address your question, here's a basic picture of the glomerulus, from Gray's Anatomy. The afferent arteriole is in red, and the efferent arteriole in blue. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) depends on the pressure difference between the two, which affects the hydrostatic pressure at the glomerulus. Constriction of the afferent arteriole decreases the blood flow into the glomerulus and thus the glomerular hydrostatic pressure, which leads to a decrease in GFR.

Nephrons The glomerulus consists of a coil of capillary lobes that receives blood from the afferent arterioles and drains into the efferent arterioles. It is located within the Bowman's capsule, which forms the beginning of the renal tubule. The glomerulus serves as a non-selective filter of plasma substances not greater than a molecular weight of 70,000.

Efferent Arteriole Because it has a smaller diameter than the afferent arteriole, it creates some resistance to blood flow, producing the back-up of blood in the glomerulus which creates higher pressure in the glomerular cavity. The efferent arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus.

- • Arcuate Arteries: They divide the kidney cortex from the medulla. • Interlobular Arteries: Branch from the corticomedullary junction back outward toward the. capsule. • AFFERENT ARTERIOLES: Primary arterioles that provide incoming blood to the glomerulus. o A major source of pressure drop in the kidney system. • GLOMERULAR CAPILLARIES: Filter blood into the glomerulus, and then unfiltered blood. continues to efferent arterioles.

Efferent Arteriole: Definition & Function An arteriole is the branching off of an artery. Now that we have reviewed blood flow, it's time to define what an efferent arteriole is and review its function in the blood flow process. An efferent arteriole is an arteriole that delivers blood away from the capillaries of the kidney.

- (2) Renal Tubule. The renal tubule is the part of the kidney nephron into which the glomerular filtrate passes after it has reached the Bowman's capsule. The first part of the renal tubule is called the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) , which is shown on the right-hand side of the diagram above.ithin the glomerulus are glomerular capillaries that are located between the afferent arteriole bringing blood into the glomerulus and the efferent arteriole draining blood away from the glomerulus. The (outgoing) efferent arteriole has a smaller diameter than the (incoming) afferent arteriole.

Blood Cleaning by the Kidneys The diameter of the afferent (incoming) arteriole is greater than the diameter of the efferent arteriole (by which blood leaves the glomerulus). The pressure of the blood inside the glomerulus is increased due to the difference in diameter of the incoming and out-going arterioles. Most/all of the urea.

- Afferent arteriole: delivers blood to the nephron unit. Glomerulus: a ball of capillaries fed by afferent arterioles; site of filtration; located in the renal cortex area of kidney. Efferent arteriole: takes blood away from the glomerulus. Glomerular capsule: (Bowman’s capsule); surrounds the glomerulus like a cup; it is continuous with the nephron tubule.

- Blood flow to the renal medulla is largely derived from the efferent arterioles of juxtamedullary glomeruli (9, 10, 59,73, 91, 93, 99), in addition to which a portion of the flow may traverse periglomerular “shunt” pathways (16) (Fig.1).

- (Redirected from Glomerular filtrate). A glomerulus is a network (as a tuft) of capillaries located at the beginning of a nephron in the kidney. It serves as the first stage in the filtering process of the blood carried out by the nephron in its formation of urine.The glomerulus is surrounded by a cup-like sac known as Bowman's capsule. glomerulus receives blood from a single artery called the afferent artery. The afferent artery is a branch of an interlobular artery in the cortex of the kidney. Contraction or relaxation of the artery can affect the pressure of capillaries in the glomerulus, and consequently the filtration of blood.

What is the function of the glomerulus? The glomerulus is surrounded by a cup-like sac known as Bowman's capsule. The blood plasma is filtered through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the capsule. The Bowman's capsule empties the filtrate into the proximal tubule that is also part of the duct system of the nephron. A glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation.

- We know that if Afferent arteriole dilates then both GFR n RPF increase. The filtration fraction increases if Afferent arteriole dilation is the dominant affect. Now, if EFFERENT arteriole dilation is the dominant effect, then GFR is increased but Why should the renal plasma flow be decreased????? I thought it should be increased.

Glomerulus (kidney) The rate of filtration from the glomerulus to the Bowman's capsule is determined (like in systemic capillaries) by the Starling equation 1  : GFR is the glomerular filtration rate. 2  K f is the filtration coefficient – a proportionality constant. 3  P gc is the glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure.lood enters the capillaries of the glomerulus by a single arteriole called an afferent arteriole and leaves by an efferent arteriole. The capillaries are lined by a layer of cells (an endothelium) that has a unique structure, allowing blood components to be filtered, and resulting ultimately in the formation of urine.

Renal Physiology The kidneys are supplied by the afferent arterioles, which seliver blood for filtraiton in the glomerulus. The rate of blood flow through the afferent arterioles is known as the RENAL BLOOD FLOW, which typically measures about 20% of the cardiac output. The Efferent arterioles will carry blood out of the glomerulus back into the systemic circulation.
