Describe the pathway of blood through the kidney ( short please )

1 answer

Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery, which branches into smaller arteries called arterioles. These arterioles lead to tiny blood vessels called capillaries, located within the nephrons of the kidney. The exchange of waste products, excess fluid, and substances occurs in the nephrons. After this filtration process, the clean blood is collected by small veins called venules, which then join together to form larger veins. Finally, the clean blood leaves the kidney through the renal vein.
