The efferent arterioles are blood vessels that are part of the urinary tract of organisms. The efferent arterioles form from a convergence of the capillaries of the glomerulus. They play an important role in maintaining the glomerular filtration rate despite fluctuations in blood pressure.In the mammalian kidney they follow two markedly different courses depending on the location of the glomeruli from which they arise.
