Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blood passes through the renal artery (4) into the interlobar arteries (3), then into the arcuate artery (2) and finally into the cortical radiate artery (6) which feeds the afferent arteriole (1) leading to the glomerulus (5). Blood exits the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole (7) which branches to form the peritubular capillaries (8). Therefore, the proper order is 4,3,2,6,1,5,7,8. Choice B is the only option that matches this order.
