Where does formation of urine begin?
In the renal corpuscle, which is a filtration unit of vertebrate nephrons, functional units of the kidney.
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
What role does the lamina demsa play in the renal corpuscle?
The lamina densa is a component of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) in the renal corpuscle. It provides structural support and acts as a filtration barrier, preventing the passage of large molecules like proteins from the blood into the glomerular filtrate. It also helps maintain the integrity and function of the renal corpuscle by separating the glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes.
Where do filtration of the blood and re-absorption of nutrients occur?
filteration of blood:- is in the kidney absorption of nutrients :- is in the small intestine
What capsule is part of the renal corpuscle that surrounds the glomerulus of the nephron?
Bowman's
Where the filtration of plasma takes place?
renal corpuscle
What is the major mechanism responsible for preventing the filtration of proteins in the nephron?
arterial pressure and filtration size in the renal corpuscle
In the nephron where does glomerular filtration take place?
Glomerulus (Renal Corpuscle)
What is the ball of specialized capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs?
a ball , tightly coiled capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs
What are the layers in the renal corpuscle through which filtrate must pass to enter the capsular space?
The renal corpuscle filtration barrier is composed of: the fenestrated endothelium of glomerular capillaries, the fused basal lamina of endothelial cells and podocytes, and the filtration slits of the podocytes.
What is the driving force for the filtration of blood by the renal corpuscle?
Higher pressure in glomerular capillaries than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule
Where does formation of urine begin?
In the renal corpuscle, which is a filtration unit of vertebrate nephrons, functional units of the kidney.
What is the cell that make up filtration membrane in Bowman's capsule?
Nephron in the kidneys. Technically, Bowman's capsule contains the glomerulus.
Where does most of the fluid go after glomerular filtrtion?
Glomerular filtration is part of the process in the formation of urine. After the process of glomerular filtration is carried out, most of the fluid goes into the glomerular capsule and then into the renal corpuscle. Some of the fluid is reabsorbed by the body.
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
What is the difference between the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle?
The renal corpuscle is composed of the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus, the site of filtration. The renal tubule is composed of the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal tubule. This is where reabsorption and secretion takes place as the filtrate is converted into urine.
Capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
Glomerulus
