Where in the nephron is most of the previously removed fluid added back to the blood?
Renal tubule
What happens if the reabsorption of sodium by the renal tubule is inhibited?
reabsorption of water by renal tubule decreases
What returns filtered blood to the bloodstream after passing through the glomerulus?
the renal tubule?
What is the difference between the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle?
The renal corpuscle is composed of the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus, the site of filtration. The renal tubule is composed of the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal tubule. This is where reabsorption and secretion takes place as the filtrate is converted into urine.
What is the last portion of the renal tubule?
the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) tubule.
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
What are the two main parts of a nephron?
it consistsof two parts the renal corpusle and the renal tubule. The question I gave my students was What are the two main parts of a nephron and that was the answer
What is the process that is performed by the glomerulus that forms blood plasma without blood proteins?
Glomerular Filtration - a passive process in which fluid passes from the blood into the glomerular capsule (part of the renal tubule) Once in the capsule the fluid is called filtrate and is essentially blood plasma without proteins
What is the part of the renal tubule function is filtration of blood?
renal cortex
A nephon consists of a renal corpuscle and a what?
nephron consists of a cluster of blood capillaries called glomerulus and a renal tubule. now the renal tubule is swollen at one end and forms Bowman's capsule. the glomerulus surrounds this capsule and they together are called renal corpuscle. so the nephron consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. and the renal tubule is convoluted at first (also covered by blood capillaries) , then forms a U shape called "loop of henle" .then it ends into the collecting duct.
What are the components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by filtrate?
proximal continuous tubule loop of henle distal continuous tubule
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.
