Blood leaves the Bowman's capsule by:

Correct answer: C. Efferent arterioles

  • A. Afferent arterioles
  • B. Afferent capillaries
  • C. Efferent arterioles
  • D. Efferent capillaries

Explanation

Option C is correct.Blood leaves the Bowman's capsule by Efferent arterioles.The Bowman's capsule is a crucial component of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. It plays a role in the initial filtration of blood to form urine. After the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries within the Bowman's capsule, filters the blood, the filtered fluid (known as the glomerular filtrate) needs to exit the Bowman's capsule and continue through the renal tubules for further processing.

About Homeostasis

Homeostasis maintains a stable internal environment through the kidney and urinary system, thermoregulation and excretion. The kidney topics include filtration, selective reabsorption, urine formation and water balance, while thermoregulation involves sweating, vasodilation, vasoconstriction and hormonal control; excretion is different from egestion, which removes undigested food.
