flitration
What else can I help you with?
Fluid moves out of the glomerulus by?
Osmosis
What moves fluid and chemicals into the nephron?
Filtration at the glomerulus moves fluid and small molecules into the nephron. Subsequently, reabsorption and secretion processes move specific chemicals in and out of the nephron to regulate their concentrations in the body.
What is a cluster of blood capillaries which filters fluid?
I think the answer you are looking for is the glomerulus.
When fluid is filtered out of the glomerulus what part of the nephron does it enterfirst?
Bowman's capsule
The process of plasmalike fluid passing through the glomerulus to Bowman's capsule is called?
filtration
What does glomerular filtration contain?
a filtrate fluid that oozes from the glomerulus and is collected by the Bowman's capsule.
Is the glomerulus thought of as the filter of the kidney since it forms a fluid called filtrate or ultrafiltrate from the blood?
true
Where is the site of the filtrate formation?
Glomerulus is the filter that makes the filtrate.
What is surrounded by the Bowman's Capsule?
the glomerulus
How much fluid filters through the glomerulus in a day?
About 180 L of fluid is filtered out but 178-179 get reabsorbed in the tubules so 1-2 L gets excreted as urine on a daily basis.
What are Components of the renal corpuscle?
The renal corpuscle consists of the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries, and the Bowman's capsule, which is a cup-shaped structure that surrounds the glomerulus. Together, these components are responsible for the initial filtration of blood in the kidney.
If fluid which leaves the glomerulus and enters bowman's capsule is correctly termed?
The fluid that leaves the glomerulus and enters Bowman's capsule is called filtrate. This filtrate contains waste products, ions, and nutrients that will be further processed in the renal tubules to form urine.
