The capillaries of the glomerulus differ from other capillary networks in the body because they:__________
a) secrete mucus.
b) carry only deoxygenated blood.
c) drain into an arteriole instead of a venule.
d) absorb nutrients from the glomerular capsule.

The capillaries of glomerulus filter blood and make urine that contains impurities. These capillaries are found within the nephron. When the blood enters the glomerulus capillaries, the impurities that are easily filterable are absorbed by the capillaries and are poured into the glomerulus while the impurities that cannot be filtered through the glomerulus tubule such as serum and dead cells are drained into the efferent arteriole for exit.

Hence, option C is correct

The capillaries of the glomerulus differ from other capillary networks in the body because they:__________ a) secrete mucus. b) carry only deoxygenated blood. c) drain into an arteriole instead of a venule. d) absorb nutrients from the glomerular capsule.
