Trace the flow of blood through the nephron?
the flow of blood through the nephron is : enters through the afferent arteriole, then flows through the glomerulus and into the efferent arteriole. Blood then enters the peritubular capillaries and the vasa recta and then flows through the cortex and medulla of the kidneys close to the tubules Answer: so the flow is afferent arteriole, efferent arteriole, peritubular capillaries, vasa recta
Are capillaries part of the lung?
Yes, capillaries form a network around the alveoli. It is through the alveolar walls and into the capillaries that oxygen enters the blood stream. Carbon dioxide leaves the blood by the reverse route.
What is the nephron process?
The nephron process is where the blood enters the glomerulus and is absorbed. It is then processed through the kidney's and turned into urine.
How does marijuana get inside you?
It enters through the capillaries of the lungs.
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.
The oxygenated blood first enters the?
The oxygenated blood first enters the capillaries, then they carry the blood through other veins to the rest of the body.
The filtrate within the nephron becomes urine only when it passes through the distal convoluted tubules and enters the collecting ducts?
False
What is the pressure when the blood leaves the small arteries and enters the Capillaries?
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
Which structure is the first section of the nephron tubule into which the filtrate enters?
the proximal tubule
What enters the capillaries that passes through the lugns?
blood, at first it is deoxygenated but by the time it leaves the lungs it is full of dissolved oxygen
What is the blood pressure when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries?
The blood pressure is usually high when blood leaves the small arteries and enters the capillaries.
Where does a red blood cell go after the systemic arteries?
The systemic arteriole, then the capillaries, the venule, the vein, the vena cava, the heart, the pulmonary artery, the pulmonary arterioles, capillaries, the pulmonary veins, the heart, into the aorta, and back into the artery.
