Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for the flow of an oxygenated red blood cell through the kidney starts with the segmental artery (1), followed by the interlobar artery (3), the arcuate artery (2), the cortical radiate artery (8), the afferent arteriole (5), the glomerular capillaries (9), the efferent arteriole (7), the peritubular capillary (4), and finally into the peritubular venule (6). This sequence reflects the path from larger arteries entering the kidney, through the filtration process in the nephron, and out via the venous system.
