What is the difference between afferent arterioles and efferent arterioles |
| Answer» \tAfferent ArterioleEfferent arterioleAfferent arteriole is a branch of the renal artery that brings in blood to the glomerulus.Efferent arteriole is a branch of the renal artery that drains blood away from the glomerulus.Afferent arteriole carries blood to the glomerulus.Efferent arteriole takes blood away from the glomerulus.Afferent arteriole is a branch of the renal vein.Efferent arteriole is a branch of the renal artery.The blood carried by the afferent arteriole contains nitrogenous wastes.The blood in the efferent arteriole lacks nitrogenous wastes.The blood of the afferent arteriole contains water, blood cells, platelets, glucose, amino acids, ions, and nitrogenous wastes.The blood of the efferent arteriole contains less water, glucose, amino acids, ions, and nitrogenous wastesAfferent arterioles maintain the blood pressure.Efferent arterioles maintain the glomerular filtration rate.Afferent arteriole contains blood with high pressure.The pressure of the blood in the efferent arteriole is less than that of the afferent arterioles.\t | |
