Afferent arterioles. The afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems. They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism. The afferent arterioles branch from the renal artery, which supplies blood to the kidneys.
The glomerular capillaries are unique in that they lie between two arterioles, the afferent arteriole and the efferent arteriole. Because of the added resistance of the efferent arteriole, P GC is higher than pressure in a typical capillary. The figure illustrates the forces that determine the filtration rate.
