The glomerulus, efferent arteriole, and vasa recta are structures involved in the transport of blood within the kidney. The glomerulus is a network of capillaries involved in the filtration of blood, the efferent arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus, and the vasa recta are capillary networks that surround the nephron loop (loop of Henle) and are involved in the reabsorption of water and solutes.
