Which Blood Vessels Deliver Blood Directly to the Glomeruli

Question

Which blood vessels deliver blood directly to the glomeruli?
A) segmental arteries
B) cortical radiate arteries
C) arcuate arteries
D) afferent arterioles

Accepted Answer

Afferent arterioles deliver blood directly to the glomeruli. Segmental arteries supply blood to the kidneys, which then branch into interlobar arteries, then arcuate arteries, then cortical radiate arteries, and finally afferent arterioles, which supply blood to the glomeruli.
