The correct sequence starts with the renal artery bringing blood into the kidney, then to the smaller incoming arteriole, through the glomerulus where filtration occurs, into the outgoing arteriole, through the peritubular capillaries where exchange of substances occurs, then into the venule, and finally out of the kidney via the renal vein.
