A: cortex; medulla

Q: The renal artery is a branch of the [which vessel] and supplies blood to the nephron via the [afferent or efferent arteriole]
A: aorta; afferent arteriole

Q: The glomerulus is just a collection of [which vessels] surrounded by [what space]
A: capillaries; Bowman's space

Q: The [afferent or efferent arterioles] contains blood that enters the glomerulus
A: afferent arterioles

Q: The [afferent or efferent arterioles] contains blood that leaves the glomerulus
