The size of the glomerulus in the adult varies between 0.10 and 0.15mm. in diameter; usually it measures 0.12 mm. If injected, its size increasesto about 0.15 mm. The artery leading into the glomerulus (vas afferens) isslightly larger than the artery which carries the blood from it (vas efferens).Both enter and leave through the hilum of the glomerulus, found, as a rule,on the upper surface—i. e., the one nearest the renal capsule. 156 THE ANATOMY OF THE KIDNEY AND URETER.
