In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
The sequence of structures that urea passes through in the nephron is?
A nephron is composed of the Bowman's capsule, the proximal tubule, the loop of the nephron (called the loop of Henle), the distal tubule, and the collecting duct.
The hormone ADH functions to promote water re-abdsorption through the wall of what in the kidney?
distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct.The distal convoluted tubule
What fluid passes through the renal tubule?
A renal tubule passes most of the fluids it processes into the bloodstream
Function of distal tubule?
The distal tubule reabsorbs ions into the tubular fluid. The distal tubule plays a huge role in the balance of acid in the urinary tract.
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
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 components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by filtrate?
proximal continuous tubule loop of henle distal continuous tubule
What histological feature distinguishes proximal convoluted tubule from a distal convoluted tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubules have brush borders or microvilli on the inner edge of the tubule. Distal convoluted tubules do not have this structure.
Where does ADH act on the nephron?
collecting duct (system) and late distal tubule
Which substances are normally secreted into the distal tubule?
The ions that are secreted by the distal convoluted tubule are potassium ions. These are secreted to better control the levels of potassium and sodium.
