Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blood flows into the kidney through the renal artery (7). Then, it passes through the segmental artery (8), interlobar artery (5), and then the arcuate artery (2). From there, the blood flows into the interlobular (cortical radiate) artery (6) and then into the afferent arteriole (1) leading to the glomerulus (4). After passing through the glomerulus, the blood flows out of the kidney via the efferent arteriole (3). Therefore, the correct order is 7, 8, 5, 2, 6, 1, 4, 3, and the only option that matches this sequence is C.
