Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blood flows into the filtration units (glomeruli) of the kidneys via the efferent arterioles (which branch off from the renal arteries) and exits the glomeruli via the afferent arterioles. Filtrate from the glomeruli pass into the proximal convoluted tubules, where reabsorption of useful solutes occurs.
