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 vessels that exchange substances with the nephron?
The afferent arteriole.
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
The process by which the renal tubule actively moves substances from the blood into the nephron to be excreted?
Tubular secretion
How do nephrons eliminate wastes?
A nephron, also known as a kidney, regulates water and soluble substances by filtering the blood. The nephron reabsorbs what is needed and excretes the rest as urine.
What does blood reabsorb from the nephrons?
Glucose and some ions and water are the main substances that diffuse (or are actively transported) across the nephron, into the blood.
Is capillary a blood vessel?
Yes, the capillaries are the smallest kind of blood vessel, that facilitate the movement of substances (like oxygen and glucose) in and out of the blood through their very thin walls.
Which blood vessel allows substances to travel between the blood and other cells in the body?
capillaries
What is so special about these blood vessels that's makes it easy for substances to pass in and out?
when blood is in vessel, the blood may be black.
explain how substances are exchanged between the blood entering the nephron and the filtrate leaving the collecting duct?
You just broke my brain cells
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.
