Characteristics of the structural organization of the afferent and efferent glomerular arterioles of the mammalian kidney, that have so far escaped adequate functional discussion, include: presence and distribution of myoendothelial junctions in afferent and efferent arterioles and their possible functional relevance as stretch receptors; distribution of smooth-muscle cells around cortical efferent arterioles and, in particular, the presence of a contractile segment at the beginning of the efferent arterioles; elaboration of a basement membrane-like material beneath the endothelium of efferent arterioles and the continuity of this material with the mesangial and extramesangial matrix material; and structural organization of the endothelium of juxtamedullary efferent arterioles, consisting of up to 30 longitudinally arranged endothelial cells, and its possible functional significance.
哺乳动物肾脏的入球小动脉和出球小动脉的结构组织特征，迄今为止尚未得到充分的功能探讨，这些特征包括：入球小动脉和出球小动脉中肌内皮连接的存在与分布及其作为牵张受体的可能功能相关性；皮质传出小动脉周围平滑肌细胞的分布，特别是传出小动脉起始处收缩段的存在；传出小动脉内皮下方类似基底膜物质的形成以及该物质与系膜和系膜外基质物质的连续性；近髓传出小动脉内皮的结构组织，由多达30个纵向排列的内皮细胞组成及其可能的功能意义。
