a. glomerulus
b. afferent arteriole
c. efferent arteriole
d. peritubular capillaries

The correct answer is C. The vasa recta is a specialized portion of the efferent arteriole.

Explanation:

In anatomy, the vasa recta or descending straight vessel is an artery of the renal tissue, originated from the efferent arterioles, arched artery, and interlobar artery. They are so named because they follow a straight and descending trajectory from the cortex to the deepest portions of the renal medulla.

Its ramifications are important in order to concentrate the urine. Through a countercurrent system, oxygen and nutrients can be transported to the medulla. This countercurrent system also contributes to maintaining the osmolarity gradient between bark and medulla in the kidney.

object there was none. passion there was none. i loved the old man. he had never wronged me. he had never given me insult. for his gold i had no desire. i think it was his eye! yes, it was this! he had the eye of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film over it. whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees—very gradually—i made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.  

read the excerpt from "the black cat.”

beneath the pressure of torments such as these, the feeble remnant of the good within me succumbed. evil thoughts became my sole intimates—the darkest and most evil of thoughts. the moodiness of my usual temper increased to hatred of all things and of all mankind; while, from the sudden, frequent, and ungovernable outbursts of a fury to which i now blindly abandoned myself, my uncomplaining wife, alas! was the most usual and the most patient of sufferers.
