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 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.
Where the filtration of plasma takes place?
renal corpuscle
Capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
Glomerulus
What do the glomerular capsule and the glomerulus make up?
NephronThe renal corpuscle also known as the Malpighian corpuscle.
What sensation is associated with activation of the lamellated corpuscle in the skin?
Pressure is the sensation associated with activation of the lamellated corpuscle in the skin. The laminated corpuscle is also referred to as the Pacinian corpuscle.
How the blood vessels associated with the renal corpuscle help to maintain relatively high blood pressure within the glomerulus?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiotensin
What section of the nephron filters blood plasma?
renal corpuscle
What is the capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
peritubular capillaries
What are the two layers of the glomerular capsule called?
Renal Corpuscle
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.
Is the glomerulus a knot of capillaries the lies within the renal corpuscle?
Yes
