Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Urine from each nephron is emptied into a collecting area, called the renal pelvis. From the renal pelvis, the urine flows into the ureters. Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole. The glomerulus filters the blood, producing filtrate, the basis of urine. Filtered blood that leaves the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole is returned to the circulation. The glomerulus is a capillary bed, located inside a structure called Bowman's capsule.
