Which Blood Vessel(s)is (Are)primarily Concerned with Reabsorption

Question

Which blood vessel(s)is (are)primarily concerned with reabsorption?
A) Renal artery
B) Glomeruli
C) Renal vein
D) Peritubular capillaries

Accepted Answer

Peritubular capillaries are specialized blood vessels that surround the renal tubules in the kidneys. Their primary function is reabsorption of substances from the filtrate back into the bloodstream. The renal artery brings blood to the kidneys, which then flows through the glomeruli (clusters of capillaries) where filtration occurs. The filtered blood then enters the peritubular capillaries, which are responsible for reabsorption before the blood is returned to circulation through the renal vein.
