Instead the glomerulus funnels blood into efferent arterioles which divide into capillaries a second time.

而是由肾小球将血液输送进入出球小动脉，后者分支复成毛细血管网。

This process of glycation particularly affects the efferent arteriole and causes it to get stiff and more narrow - a process called hyaline arteriosclerosis.

这种糖基化过程尤其影响出球小动脉，使其硬化、变窄——该过程叫玻璃样动脉硬化。

In fact, the mesangium is continuous with the smooth muscles of the afferent and efferent arterioles, and fills in the space between the loops of blood vessels, hence the name.

事实上，系膜是由入球、出球小动脉的平滑肌细胞延续而来，填满了毛细血管袢的空隙，因此得名Mes-angium。
