What performs filtration?
glomerulus
Filtration occurs at the -------- part of the nephron?
Filtration occurs at the glomerulus, which is the initial part of the nephron where blood is filtered to form the filtrate that will eventually become urine.
Where does the process of filtration take place?
glomerulus
Where does filtration of blood occurs?
Filtration of blood occurs in the kidneys, specifically in the glomerulus within the nephron. The glomerulus filters waste and excess substances from the blood into the renal tubules for further processing and excretion as urine.
What is the name of the cluster of capillaries in the kidney where filtration occurs?
The cluster of capillaries in the kidney where filtration occurs is called the glomerulus. The glomerulus is part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood to form urine.
The filtration of the blood in the kidney takes place in the?
Glomerulus
What is the main function of the glomerulus in urine formation (Glomerulus is one of the four main structures of the nephron)?
filtration of blood
What is the main function of the glomerulus in urine formation (Glomerulus is one of the four main structures of the nephron)?
filtration of blood
What vessel directly feeds into the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole feeds directly into the glomerulus.
What causes Increase filtration fraction in glomerulus?
efferent arteriolar constriction.
What is the process by which substances leave the glomerulus and enter the glomerular capsule?
Filtration
Filtration at the glomerulus is directly related what.?
Filtration at the glomerulus is directly related to the hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capillaries, the oncotic pressure in the Bowman's capsule, and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). These factors influence the movement of fluid and solutes across the glomerular filtration barrier.
