What are some of the substances filtered from the blood by the kidney?

∙ 13y ago
substances that are excreted from the kidneys are urea, uric acid, creatinine, toxins, drugs, plasma inorganic ions,(Na+,K+,Ca2+..ect.) H+, HCO3-, of course H2O, and anything else the body doesn't need that's found in the blood plasma.
substances that are reabsorbed are amino acids, proteins, glucose, water, plasma inorganic ions and anything the body needs that is found in the blood plasma.
the nephrons are nonselective and secrete everything in the plasma, and the capillaries then reabsorb the vitamins minerals nutrients ect. that the body needs back into the blood, everything the body doesnt need goes to the bladder. What will cause the kidneys to lose more water from the blood? Diuretic hormones

∙ 12y agoblood cells and proteins are not filtered in the kidney 99 percent of the water you intake is also reabsorbed in the kidney so it is returned to blood aswell

What filters toxic substances out of the blood?
The kidney filters all toxic substances out of the blood and the toxic substances, as well as some excess water, is turned into waste. (and i think you know what "waste" is)
Where does the waste from blood go when blood is filtered in the kidney?
yes it passes through the kidney which has tiny tubes and because of pressure the blood is ultra filtrated which causes waste materials and excess water flow out and blood back to the circulatory system.
What are some substances that are filtered from the lymph while it is in lymph nodes?
abnormal bodys <3
What is the process in which some of the filtered components of blood are removed from the tubule restored to the blood?
utrination
What is the function of the glomerulus and the bowmans capsule?
The glomerulus and bowmans capsule are part of the excretory system, and they are found in the nephron of a kidney. The function of the glomerulus and the bowman's capsule is to filter the substances in the blood. The glomerulus is a tangle of capillaries which have little slits in them. Water, salts, glucose and urea pass through the slits into the bowmans capsule, which leads to kidney tubules. Then, as the kidney tubules are surrounded by capillaries, the useful substances (all glucose, some salts, most water) are re-absorbed, and only urea and some salts carry on to be excreted.
In the excretory system what's the filtration process?
Filtration is when the blood is filtered to remove waste substances and excess water, also some valuable material like glucose is also removed. This leads on the reabsorption.
What are the substances reabsorbed in distal convoluted tubule?
When blood is filtered at the glomerulus (filter unit) of the kidney, some substances don't even make it into the nephron. These include proteins, which are simply too big to diffuse from the capillaries and across the Bowman's capsule. As for what substances are reabsorbed (by active transport) into the bloodstream from the nephron, these include glucose, which is too valuable to be lost in urine. Urea and other substances are lost in the urine.
What are the four substances in the blood filtered by the kidneys?
1. Water 2. Salts 3. Glucose 4. Urea 5. Amino acid 6. Some vitamins
Some wastes filtered from the blood by the kidneys are?
urea and other harmfull subtance
Why sugar does not appear normally in urine?
The nephrons (filtering units in the kidney) actively reabsorb glucose from the urine. Up until a blood sugar of about 200, there should normally be no glucose found in the urine. Glucose in the urine (also called glycosuria), can be seen in diabetes and other conditions that cause an increased blood glucose. There are also some conditions that prevent the nephron from reabsorbing glucose filtered in the kidney.
What substances fill the chambers of the heart?
Mostly blood, and some plasma.
What type of cells protect the neurons in the central nervous systems from some substances in the blood?
Could one conclude that Ependymal cells & Oligodenrocytes blood cells in the CNS protects neurons from some blood substances in blood.
