Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence of blood flow through the kidney is renal artery, arcuate arteries, cortical radiate arteries, afferent arterioles, glomerular capillaries, efferent arterioles, peritubular capillaries, cortical radiate veins, arcuate veins, and finally, the renal vein. Choice B lists the sequence in the correct order. Choices A, C, and D have some incorrect sequence of the arteries and veins.
