What structure of the kidney receives urine first?
In fact, the kidney dose not receives the urine but it produces the urine by receiving the filtrate from the blood vessels . and the first part wich receives the filtrate is the " glomerus"
What happend in the kidney as the liquid passes though the nephron?
As blood passes into and through the glomerulus, due to the high blood pressure coming into the kidney, water and other solutes, eg: urea, glucose, sodium, potassium and other electrolytes, are forced by pressure thru a membrane and into the nephron. Red Blood cells are too big to pass through this, and remain in the blood vessels, if you do have blood in your urine it can be a indicator of a problem in the kidney. This fluid then moves through the nephrons, the proximal convoluting tubule, the loop of Henle, the distal convoluting tubule and into the collecting duct. On the way, through passive and active osmosis, water, electrolytes are removed from the filtrate and back into the body, until the filtrate is the concentrated formula which then flows out the kidney to the bladder.
What condition allows red blood cells and protein to enter the filtrate?
Conditions which allow the red blood cells and protein to enter the filtrate are renal infections, kidney infections, diabetes, hypothyroidism, jaundice, and Glomerulonephritis. The reasons of red blood cells entering the filtrate can be various and dangerous.
Materials are returned to the blood from the filtrate by which of the following processes?
selective reabsorption
Is the glomerulus thought of as the filter of the kidney since it forms a fluid called filtrate or ultrafiltrate from the blood?
true
In which part of the kidney is all of the glucose actively reabsorbed from the filtrate back into the blood?
Proximal convoluted tubule
Would red blood cells be present in the renal filtrate?
Not normally - red blood cells are quite large and should be above the glomerular filtration size threshold. Blood in the renal filtrate will by default result in blood in the urine due to an inability of the kidney to reabsorb it and this is pathlogic.
What physiological processes is the kidney involved in other than urine formation?
cleansing of the the blood
The process of the kidney taking out the impurities from the blood?
The kidney removes impurities from the blood in two ways. These processes are known as ultra filtration and selective reabsorption. The active component of the kidney involved with filtration is the nephron.
What happens to filtrate volume when systemic blood pressure is decreased?
Filtrate volume decreases when systemic blood pressure decreases.
Clinical significance of protein in urine?
If there is protein in urine, there is something wrong with the filtration process in the kidneys. Normally, proteins molecules that are too large to enter the filtrate in the nephron of the kidney. If protein were to make it into the filtrate, then the kidneys are taking too much out of the blood and that could be disasterous
The filtrate removed from the blood by the kidneys might contain?
The kidneys remove toxic substances from the blood. The main substance that the kidneys filtrate from the blood is known as urea.
