Efferent arteriole, not venule[edit]

This is probably mentioned elsewhere on the 'net, but I haven't yet taken the time to search. In any case, Gray's label here suggests that blood leaves the glomerulus via a venule, which is incorrect. In fact, blood leaves via an efferent arteriole, allowing finer control over renal bloodflow and GFR. --Diberri 00:05, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
