Blood Leaves the Kidney Through the ________

Question

Blood leaves the kidney through the ________.
A)Efferent arterioles
B)Hepatic vein
C)Renal nephron
D)Renal vein

Accepted Answer

Blood leaves the kidney through the renal vein, which carries filtered and oxygenated blood out of the kidney and transports it back to the heart for circulation. The efferent arterioles carry blood away from the glomerulus within the kidney, while the hepatic vein drains blood from the liver into the inferior vena cava. The renal nephron is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and producing urine.
