Answers
Efferent arteriole is the blood vessel which takes blood away from Bowman's capsule..
The blood vessel taking blood into Bowman’s capsule is afferent arteriole.
* Renal artery that delivers blood for filtration to the kidneys has two sub divisions. It enters the Bowman's capsule as an afferent arteriole but exits it as the efferent arteriole.
* Blood first enters the Bowman's capsule( cup like structure at the beginning of renal tubule) through the glomerular capillaries for filtration.
* The next step is tubular reabsorption which takes in the renal tubules followed by tubular secretion.
* The filtered blood comes out through the renal vein along with the excess water.
* The rest of the water goes out along with the toxic waste through the ureter in the form of urine.
