Solution
The blood vessel 'B' is renal artery and the blood vessel 'A' is renal vein.
So the blood vessel 'B' contains oxygenated blood with high concentration of urea and glucose whereas the blood vessel 'A' contains deoxygenated blood with low concentration of urea and glucose as compared to renal artery.
