What is the name of the capillaries that surround renal tubules?
peritubular capillaries
Which group of capillaries found in a nephron?
The glomerulus
What are the horizontal vessels of the peritubular capillaries?
Blood leaves the glomerular capillaries via a second set of arterioles, the efferent arterioles, which deliver blood to the peritubular capillaries.
Can reabsorbing of solutes influence the reabsorption of water from the tubule fluid?
Yes. The movement of solutes into peritubular capillaries decreases the solute concentration of the tubular fluid but increases the solute concentration in the peritubular capillaries. As a result, water moves by osmosis into peritubular capillaries.
Vessels that carryblood to the peritubular capillaries?
Efferent arteriole
What is the capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
peritubular capillaries
What vessels give rise to peritubular capillaries?
efferent arteriole
Which part of nephron is a network of capillaries whose job is to reclaim useful materials from the filtrate?
peritubular capillaries
Blood from the efferent arteriole flows into this capillary bed?
Peritubular capillaries
What is the immediate destination of blood leaving the glomerulus?
efferent arteriole to peritubular capillaries.
Vessels that carry blood to the peritubular capillaries?
The main capillaries of the renal cortex which arise from the efferent arteriole after it leaves the renal corpuscle and wrap around the renal tubules, especially the proximal and distal tubules, to supply nutrients and oxygen to the tubules, to carry away wastes from the tubular cells.
The capillary bed that directly receives the reabsorbed substances from tubule cells?
Peritubular capillaries
