What else can I help you with?
Which group of capillaries found in a nephron?
The glomerulus
Each nephron contains a cluster of what?
capillaries
What is the cup-shaped part of the nephron?
The cup-shaped part of the nephron is called the renal (or Bowman's) capsule. It is located at the beginning of the nephron and surrounds the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. The renal capsule helps in the filtration of blood and the formation of urine.
Which part of the nephron consists of a knot of capillaries?
If by knot you mean a complicated intertwining of capillaries surrounding the nephron, they are called the peritubular capillaries. They are largely responsible for the bodies ability to concentrate urine and maintain homeostasis.
What are blood vessels called that surround the nephron loop?
Renal capillaries, aka the glomerulus, where nitrogenous wastes and excess water in the blood plasma diffuse over to the nephron to be filtered and excreted.
What part of the vertebrate nephron actually consists of capillaries?
glomerulus
The cluster of blood capillaries found in each nephron is?
Glomerulus
Which part of nephron is a network of capillaries whose job is to reclaim useful materials from the filtrate?
peritubular capillaries
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
Which structure contains the capillaries responsible for filtering blood into the nephron?
The glomerulous
As blood enters a nephron it flows through a network of capillaries known as a?
Glomerulus
Which is the most porous capillaries?
Most porous capillaries are present in glomerulous in a Bowmans capsule of nephron .They help in filtration of blood . Tortuous nature of capillaries also helps in filtration .
