The afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems.They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure as a part of the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism.he afferent arterioles are a group of blood vessels that supply the nephrons in many excretory systems.
This is a region where, in each nephron, the distal convoluted tubule touches the afferent arteriole. The juxtaglomerular cells are part of the afferent arteriole and the macula densa is part of the distal tubule. Renin is secreted from the JG cells and is important in regulating systemic blood pressure.
