Blood vessels travel in parallel to provide fresh blood to all tissue. However, one of the
exceptions is the two capillary beds of the kidneys located in series. Blood flow occurs
as
follows: afferent arteriole- glomerulus- efferent arteriole - the peritubular capillaries. How
does this series of blood flow benefit the kidneys and homeostasis?

- The body uses the nutrients we ingest from food and liquids. Once the body has reabsorbed as much as it can, it eliminates any material it deems unusable. As far as liquids are concerned, all waste that is eliminated by the kidneys is excreted as urine. Many people suffer from urinary tract infections every day. The lifestyle of many people can contribute to these health problems.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a function of the urinary system?
