This term means entry of substances into the body from the filtrate?
secretion
What substances are removed from the filtrate and reabsorbed by the capillaries?
red blood cells
What materials are reabsorbed back into the blood from the nePhric filtrate?
mainly glucose (in the renal tubule) and water (in the collecting duct)
Is the collecting duct the site that drains the distal convoluted tubule?
No, the collecting duct is the site where the filtrate from multiple nephrons is collected and the final adjustments to urine concentration are made. The distal convoluted tubule drains into the collecting duct.
What is the liquid that passes through a filter paper and contains any soluble substances from the orriginal mixture?
The name of this liquid is filtrate.
Is a filtrate pure?
A filtrate doesn't contain insoluble substances but can contain soluble substances.
What are two substances that are found in the filtrate but not in the urine?
Ions and nutrients
This term means entry of substances into the body from the filtrate?
secretion
What substances may be in the filtrate after the soap was filtered out?
Saponification refers to the process of producing soap, usually from fats and lye. The substances that are left in the filtrate after the soap is filtered out are glycerol and excess salt.
What is the urine-producing unit in the kidney called?
Nephrons. This includes the glomerulus where the blood stream encounters a connective tissue filter, the loop of Henle where the filtrate is concentrated and salts are exchanged and the collecting duct into which urine is collected.
What substances are removed from the filtrate and reabsorbed by the capillaries?
red blood cells
This is a nephron process that results in a substance in blood entering the already formed filtrate?
secretion
What are two substances that are routinely found in filtrate but not in the urine product?
Ions and nutrients
What is themain functionof the proximalconvolutedtubules in urineformation?
reabsorption of most of the required substances from the filtrate
What materials are reabsorbed back into the blood from the nePhric filtrate?
mainly glucose (in the renal tubule) and water (in the collecting duct)
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.
List two substances that are routinely found in filtrate but not in urine product?
ions and nutrients
