What is the vessel that branches to form theglomerulus?
Afferent Arteriole carries blood into the Glomerulus, the Efferent Arteriole carries blood away.
What vessel directly feeds into the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole feeds directly into the glomerulus.
What Blood vessel located between afferent and efferent arterioles?
Glomerulus capillary
When a molecule is reabsorbed from the lumen of the nephron where does it go?
The blood vessel that carries blood to the glomerulus is called the afferent vessel. But the glomerulus is not close ended nad the vessel that leaves it, called the efferent vessel, carries on beside the nephron and collects the components that are reabsorbed.
The blood vessel delivering blood directly to the glomerulus is the?
afferent arteriole
What is the force that causes water and solutes to be filtered by the glomerulus?
Hydrostatic pressure. The vessel draining the glomerulus has a smaller internal diameter than the vessel feeding it. This means that blood doesn't exit the glomerulus as quickly as it enters. This creates a pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, within the glomerular capillaries and that pressure forces the fluids and many solutes into the glomerular capsule surrounding the glomerulus.
What is the blood vessel that drains blood from the glomerulus?
Efferent arteriole takes the blood away from the glomerulus
What is the plural form of glomerulus?
glomeruli
What is plural form of glomerulus?
glomeruli
What type of blood vessel is likely to be found in glomerulus?
Ans: Different arteriole the different arteriole carries blood from the branch of the renal artery into the glomerulus, the different arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus and back into the branch of the anal vein.
A vessel that branches off the aorta?
Artery
What process occurs in the Bowman's capsule?
Bowmans capsule is part of the functioanl unit of the kidney called the nephron. The kidney job in the body is to filter blood and remove wastes via the urine. At the very start of each nephron is a very smalle blood network called the glomerulus. The diameter pf the vessel leaving the glomerulus (the efferent vessel) is smaller than that coming to the glomerulus (the afferent vessel) and so a large pressure occurs. This helps push the wastes as well as some nutrients and a lot of water out of the glomerulus. To stop if all just floating of into the body a a structue surround the glomerulus and takes up all the thing the glomerulus lets out. This is the glomerulus and it passes what it gets on through the vessels of the nephron where much is reabsorbed and the rest is excreted as urine.
