Blood passes through the renal artery before branching off into the interlobar artery, which turns into the arcuate artery. From there, blood travels through the cortical radiate artery to reach the afferent arteriole and enter the glomerulus. The efferent arteriole then carries blood out of the glomerulus and into the peritubular capillary network. Therefore, the correct order is 4,3,2,6,1,5,7,8.
