List the flow (path) of an erythrocyte from the renal artery ending in the renal vein (assume the RBC stays in the blood vessels which is what should happen in normal physiology).

Answer

Pathway of an erythrocyte

Renal artery
Segmental artery
Interlobar artery
Arcuate artery
Interlobular artery
Afferent arteriole
Glomerulus (glomerular capillaries)
Efferent arteriole
Peritubular capillaries and vasa recta
Interlobular vein
Arcuate vein
Interlobar vein
Segmental vein
Renal vein

- Abdominal aorta branches into renal artery that supllies the kidneys.
- Afferent arteriole supplies to the nephron, where it becomes glomerulus and reside in the Bowman's capsule.
- After filtration, blood moves out from glomerulus via efferent arteriole.
- Efferent arteriole becomes peritubular capillaries and vasa recta to surround the nephron.
- Renal vein drains deoxygenated blood from kidney into the inferior vena cava.
