How do renal blood vessels contribute to histological structure?
The renal blood vessels, including the afferent and efferent arterioles, play a critical role in kidney function. The afferent arteriole supplies blood to the glomerulus, while the efferent arteriole drains it, forming a network of peritubular capillaries and the vasa recta. These vessels are essential for maintaining the kidney's filtration function and are surrounded by connective tissue that supports their structure.
