Where does filtration occurs in the kidney?
On the top on the kidney.
Which part of the nephron contains lowest concentration of urea?
filtration
Which part of the kidney filters blood?
The structure that filters the blood in the kidneys is the nephron, or more specifically the glomerulus.
What moves fluid and chemicals into the nephron?
filtration
What is the cup-shaped part of the nephron?
The cup-shaped part of the nephron is called the renal (or Bowman's) capsule. It is located at the beginning of the nephron and surrounds the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. The renal capsule helps in the filtration of blood and the formation of urine.
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 part of the nephron is involved in the glomerular filtration process of urine formation?
filtration takes place only at glomeruli part of nephron and nowhere else.
Where does filtration occurs in the kidney?
On the top on the kidney.
Which part of the nephron contains lowest concentration of urea?
filtration
Which part of the kidney filters blood?
The structure that filters the blood in the kidneys is the nephron, or more specifically the glomerulus.
The process of filtration takes place in a structure called the?
It takes place in a part of the kidney called the nephron.
Name the excretory unit of kidney?
The nephrons are where the filtration process occurs. If you want a more complex answer, ask about the process itself.
What is the microscopic chemical filtration factory?
Nephron
What moves fluid and chemicals into the nephron?
filtration
What is the cup-shaped part of the nephron?
The cup-shaped part of the nephron is called the renal (or Bowman's) capsule. It is located at the beginning of the nephron and surrounds the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. The renal capsule helps in the filtration of blood and the formation of urine.
Why do urea and ammonia levels increase after filtration occurs?
Urea and ammonia increase because water is reabsorbed from the nephron, making the urea more concentrated.
Describe the stages of how filtration occur in the nephron?
In the glomerulus. Note this is not filtration of urine, it is the filtration of blood leading to the production of urine as a waste product.
