Question

Identify the CORRECT statement with respect to blood vessels associated with the kidney.

Options

• Efferent arteriole has a larger lumen/greater diameter as compared to afferent arteriole.

• Efferent arteriole forms peritubular network around tubule.

• The terminal branch of the renal vein forms the afferent arteriole.

• The terminal branch of the renal vein forms the afferent arteriole.

Answer 1

Efferent arteriole forms peritubular network around tubule.

Explanation:

When compared to efferent arterioles, afferent arterioles have a bigger lumen/diameter. The afferent arteriole is formed by the renal artery's terminal branch. Through the hilus, the renal artery enters and the renal vein exits the kidney.
