Function
- Ultrafiltiration: the process by which fluid is filtered out of the blood by the glomerulus.
- The blood pressure in a glomerulus causes part of the blood plasma to leak through the capillary walls. The red blood cells and plasma proteins are too big to pass out of the capillary, so the fluid that does filter through is plasma without the protein. The fluid thus consists mainly of water with dissolved salts, glucose, urea and uric acid.
- Selective Reabsorption: the process of absorbing back the substances needed by the body.
- The filtrate from the glomerulus collects in the renal capsule and trickles down the renal tubule.
- As it does so, the capillaries which surround the tubule absorb the substance the body needs back into the blood.
- ** The glucose is reabsorbed with much of the water.
- Some of the salts are taken back to keep the correct concentration in the blood.
- *** Salts not needed by the body are left to pass down the kidney tubule with the urea and uric acid.
- They continue down the renal tubule into the pelvis of the kidney, passes down the ureter and to the bladder.
What else can I help you with?
The filtration membrane of the kidneys include all the following except aglomerular endothelium b podocytes c renal fascia d basement membrane?
Renal fascia is not part of the filtration membrane of the kidneys. The filtration membrane consists of the glomerular endothelium, podocytes, and the basement membrane, which together form the barrier that filters blood to form urine in the kidneys. Renal fascia is a layer of connective tissue that surrounds the kidney and helps support it in place.
What is the tissue called that covers the kidneys?
The tissue that covers the kidneys is a connective tissue. There are actually three layers of tissue that covers the kidneys, the renal fascia, adipose capsule, and renal capsule.
Which type of tissue is suited for diffusion osmosis and filtration?
Epithelial tissue is well-suited for diffusion, osmosis, and filtration processes. The thin structure of epithelial cells allows for efficient diffusion and osmosis, while their selective permeability facilitates filtration by allowing only certain substances to pass through. Additionally, epithelial tissues are often found lining surfaces where these processes commonly occur, such as in the intestines or kidneys.
What structurally separates the two different tissue types?
fascia
What epithelial tissue can material easily diffuse through it?
Simple squamous epithelium is the epithelial tissue that easily allows for material to diffuse through it due to its thin structure and flat shape. This type of epithelium is found in areas where rapid diffusion or filtration is necessary, such as in the lungs for gas exchange or the kidneys for filtration of blood.
Which epithelial tissue does the filtration?
In the kidney, simple squamous epithelium lines the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus. In this case, the ability of simple squamous epithelium to provide rapid filtration and diffusion is instrumental to the kidney's function, as the kidney filters about 180 liters of blood per day !
Would epithelial or connective tissue be best to cushion the kidneys against a blow?
Connective tissue would be better suited to cushion the kidneys against a blow due to its more elastic and supportive properties compared to epithelial tissue, which primarily functions as a protective covering. Connective tissue, such as adipose tissue or the renal capsule, can provide a cushioning effect to absorb and distribute the impact of a blow, helping to protect the kidneys from injury.
The process in which blood pressure creates tissue fluid?
Filtration
Does scar tissue on kidneys go away?
yes
The fatty tissue surrounding the kidneys is important because?
stabilizes the position of the kidneys by holding them in their normal position
What kind of tissue on breasts?
Mostly fatty tissue. Mammary glands are modified sweat glands.
Are there nervous tissue in the kidney?
Yes, there are pressure receptors in the kidneys.
