The efferent areterioles serving the juxtamedullay nephrons tend not to break up into preitubular capullaries. Instead they form bundles of long straight vessels called vasa recta that extend deep into the medulla paralleling the longest loops of Henle. The play and important role in forming concentrated urine. they also reclaim most of that filtrate
What else can I help you with?
The bowman's capsule contain a podocyte a vasa recta a fenestrated capillarry an efferent arteriole?
The Bowman's capsule is part of the kidney's nephron structure and contains a cluster of capillaries called a glomerulus that is surrounded by podocytes. The efferent arteriole exits the glomerulus, and the vasa recta are responsible for reabsorbing nutrients and water from the kidney tubules. Fenestrated capillaries in the glomerulus allow for efficient filtration of blood.
A bowman's capsule does not contain?
Blood cells. The Bowman's capsule is a cup-shaped structure in the kidney that surrounds the glomerulus and filters blood to remove waste products and excess substances, but it does not contain blood cells.
What acts as a countercurrent exchanger to maintain the osmotic gradient while delivering a nutrient blood supply?
The vasa recta is the countercurrent exchanger that helps maintain the osmotic gradient in the kidney's medulla while providing nutrient-rich blood supply to the surrounding tissues. This unique arrangement of blood vessels allows for efficient exchange of solutes and water without disrupting the established gradient necessary for proper kidney function.
The highly specialized fluid portion of the cell is what?
The highly specialized fluid portion of the cell is the plasma.
What is the pathway of a glucose molecule from the renal artery to the renal vein?
Pathway of glucose and other molecules from renal artery to renal vein is the following . 1 renal artery , 2 arcuate artery ,3 interlobular artery , 4 afferenr renal arteriole , 5 glomerulus , 6 efferent renal arteriole , 7 peritubular network of capillaries including vasa recta , 8 interlobular vein , 9 arcuate vein and 10 renal vein .
What is the Capillary network that surrounds the loop of Henle?
the vasa recta MasteringAandP = Vasa Recta
What normally contains blood Bowman's capsule vasa recta loop of Henle collecting duct or proximal tubule?
The vasa recta. It is the main capillary that collects the filtered blood from the afferent tubule.
Capillary loops located in the medulla are also known as?
Vasa Recta
What is another name for vasa recta?
straight arterioles that follow the nephron loop
The name of the blood vessels that are found in the medulla as part of the vasa recta are the?
peritubular capillaries
How do you distinguish jejunum and ileum in an operation?
jejunum •Thick wall •Many large folds •Wide lumen •Long vasa recta •Less fat •Redder ileum •Thinner wall •Fewer small folds •Narrower lumen •Short vasa recta •More fat
What is the capillary loop that extend from the efferent arteriole and run along loop of henle of juxtamedullary nephrons?
Vasa Recta
The net action of the vasa recta is to remove water from and dilute solutes in the interstitial fluid of the renal medulla?
The vasa recta is involved in maintaining the concentration gradient in the renal medulla by removing water and diluting solutes from the interstitial fluid. This helps in the reabsorption of water and prevents the washout of concentrated urine.
The bowman's capsule contain a podocyte a vasa recta a fenestrated capillarry an efferent arteriole?
The Bowman's capsule is part of the kidney's nephron structure and contains a cluster of capillaries called a glomerulus that is surrounded by podocytes. The efferent arteriole exits the glomerulus, and the vasa recta are responsible for reabsorbing nutrients and water from the kidney tubules. Fenestrated capillaries in the glomerulus allow for efficient filtration of blood.
What describes the process in which molecules are selectively removed from the tubule moved into interstitial space and removed from the kidneys by the peritubular capillaries and the vasa recta?
Reabsorption
A bowman's capsule does not contain?
Blood cells. The Bowman's capsule is a cup-shaped structure in the kidney that surrounds the glomerulus and filters blood to remove waste products and excess substances, but it does not contain blood cells.
Trace the flow of blood through the nephron?
the flow of blood through the nephron is : enters through the afferent arteriole, then flows through the glomerulus and into the efferent arteriole. Blood then enters the peritubular capillaries and the vasa recta and then flows through the cortex and medulla of the kidneys close to the tubules Answer: so the flow is afferent arteriole, efferent arteriole, peritubular capillaries, vasa recta
