Mucoprotein excreted by the epithelial cells of the renal tubes?
Casts
Distal convoluted tubules flow directly into what structures?
The structures that distal tubes flow into are the collecting ducts of the kidneys. The collecting ducts are small tubes through which urine flows into the renal pelvis.
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
How do kidneys filter blood?
Blood enters the kidney through the renal artery. It is then cleaned as it goes through the tiny filters called nephrons.
What are the cortical tissues located between the pyramids?
fibrous column The answer you are looking for is: renal column
Mucoprotein excreted by the epithelial cells of the renal tubes?
Casts
What is the function of renal column?
Renal columns are bands of granular tissue that separate adjacent renal pyramids. They contain vessels and urinary tubes that run to the cortex.
Do renal arteries contain more metabolic waste compared to the renal veins?
Yes, because the kidneys filter the blood carried by the renal arteries.
When kidneys loose ability to filter blood what is it called?
Renal failure is the loss of function of the kidneys.
The renal pelvis is divided in small tubes?
think you must mean the major and minor calyx.
Where is the renal system located?
The renal or urinary system, comprising the kidneys, bladder and connecting tubes, is located in the back of the abdomen (kidneys) and inside the pelvis near the groin (bladder, urethra). The bladder is connected to the kidneys via a pair of tubes called ureters.
What structures filter blood in a kidney?
Renal corpuscle
How does urine get down to the ureter?
The kidneys, the nephrons specifically, use a process to filter the bloodstream and by use of hormones can filter more of something in case of excess or cease to filter something in case of scarcity. The waste diffuses from the glomerulus which is a bundle of capillaries to the Bowman's capsule, where it is further processed (some returning, some more taking) as it flows through a renal tube and continues down to merge with other renal tubes to merge into a ureter, one on each side of the body, which then continues into the (urinary) bladder.
Distal convoluted tubules flow directly into what structures?
The structures that distal tubes flow into are the collecting ducts of the kidneys. The collecting ducts are small tubes through which urine flows into the renal pelvis.
Is renal failure and renal insufficiency the same?
No, renal failure is the inability of the kidneys to adequately filter waste from the blood, leading to a buildup of toxins in the body. Renal insufficiency, on the other hand, refers to decreased kidney function that is not as severe as renal failure.
Blood pass through tiny tubes in what to filter blood?
Tubes in the kidney. I'm not sure what they are called, though.
What is the medical term meaning the condition in which the nephron of the kidney is unable to filter waste?
Renal failure
