Which part of the nephron contains lowest concentration of urea?

filtration


Why do urea and ammonia levels increase after filtration occurs?

Urea and ammonia increase because water is reabsorbed from the nephron, making the urea more concentrated.


The sequence of structures that urea passes through in the nephron is?

A nephron is composed of the Bowman's capsule, the proximal tubule, the loop of the nephron (called the loop of Henle), the distal tubule, and the collecting duct.


Does urea and glucose stay in the capillaries while blood cells and protein molecules move into the capsule of a nephron?

The answer is obviosly yes. When blood cells and protein move into the capsule of nephron the urea and glucose stay because there harmful!


Which organ filters urea out of the blood?

The glomerulus, it is part of the nephron.


What causes the concentration of urea to be higher in the urine than in the filtrate?

During reabsoption most of the water exits the nephron and enters the interstitial fluid. This increases the concentration of ions such as potassium in the nephron. In the collecting duct (at the very end) very little water is left and the concentration of potassium, sodium, etc ions rises (including urea). This is why urine is acidic.


What happens chemiacally when super phosphate and urea are blended?

1N of Urea equal What in kg


What happens after the blood flows into the nephron capillary cluster?

That's what I want to know.


What is the function of the urea in the excretory system?

Urea is the main nitrogenous waste in the excretory system. It is a non-toxic option for getting rid of the byproducts of protein metabolism. In addition, it functions within the nephron of the kidney to modify the concentration of urine under the influence of antidiuretic hormone.


What happens with an increase in the solute concentration of the filtrate in the lumen of the nephron tubules?

it will increase osmolarity of the filtrate


What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?

The glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate get absorbed by the glomerulus goes to the proximal convoluted tubule (pct) and again reabsorbed and enters the blood.


What happens to amino acids inside the liver?

They are broken down into urea then carried via blood to the kidneys and the excreted as urine
