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
Capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
Glomerulus
A nephon consists of a renal corpuscle and a what?
nephron consists of a cluster of blood capillaries called glomerulus and a renal tubule. now the renal tubule is swollen at one end and forms Bowman's capsule. the glomerulus surrounds this capsule and they together are called renal corpuscle. so the nephron consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. and the renal tubule is convoluted at first (also covered by blood capillaries) , then forms a U shape called "loop of henle" .then it ends into the collecting duct.
What is the capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
peritubular capillaries
What are Components of the renal corpuscle?
The Tuft of capillaries, known as the glomerulus, enclosed by a fluid-filled capsule called the Bowman's capsule.
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 do the glomerular capsule and the glomerulus make up?
NephronThe renal corpuscle also known as the Malpighian corpuscle.
What capsule is part of the renal corpuscle that surrounds the glomerulus of the nephron?
Bowman's
What structures filter blood in a kidney?
Renal corpuscle
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.
In the nephron where does glomerular filtration take place?
Glomerulus (Renal Corpuscle)
How the blood vessels associated with the renal corpuscle help to maintain relatively high blood pressure within the glomerulus?
