The vessels that permit exchange of materials between the cells and the blood are termed?
Capillary: A tiny blood vessel where substances are exchanged between the blood and the body cells.
What blood vessels allow the exchange of substances between the blood and the cells of the body?
Capillaries via osmosis
Which blood vessels are only ones small enough to exchange substances o the tissue cells?
Capillaries
What blood vessel exchanges substances with a nephron?
Capillary. The thin walls allow diffusion of materials to pass from the blood flow into the nephron.
What is the name of the cluster of blood vessels going into Bowman's capsule?
nephron
Cluster of tiny blood vessels in a nephron?
There's the afferent arteriole which goes to the glomerulus and the efferent arterioles which comes out of the glomerulus. These arterioles then branch out surrounding the nephron, these are called peritubular capillaries and they allow for selective reabsorption of substances as well as secretion.
What is Active transport of substances from the blood into the nephron called?
Tubular secretion
What is the process that actively moves substances from the blood into the nephron?
in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle
What are the thin walled blood vessels that allow the exchange of gases and nutrients between the blood and cells?
Capillaries - The endometrium (epithelial lining/wall) of the capillaries is only one cell thick optimizing diffusion/osmosis between it and the tissue cells of the body
Are nephrons blood vessels in kidney?
Nephrons are NOT blood vessels in the kidneys. The nephron is a three-stage unit, located in the kidney, responsible for filtering and absorbing substances. There are about one million of these structures per kidney. # The filter unit is the primary part. Small molecules diffuse into the nephron from the capillaries. # The second stage is the reabsorption region. This is where certain molecules are actively transferred back into the blood. # Finally, the collecting duct transports the waste products to the bladder as urine.
Most materials are reabsorbed from nephron tubules into surrounding blood vessels by the process known as?
Selective reabsorption
The process by which the renal tubule actively moves substances from the blood into the nephron to be excreted?
Tubular secretion
