Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peritubular capillaries surround the renal tubules and are responsible for the reabsorption of useful materials such as nutrients and ions from the filtrate. The glomeruli are a network of capillaries where filtration of blood occurs. The afferent and periglomerular capillaries are also part of the network surrounding the glomeruli, but they do not play a significant role in reabsorption of useful materials.
