What is the ball of specialized capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs?
a ball , tightly coiled capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs
What are the parts of a nephron?
The parts of the nephron are the renal artery, renal vein, afferent arteriole, glomerulus, bowman's capsule, proximal tubules, distal tubules, loop of henle, renal pelvis, cortex, medulla, peritubular capillaries, and ureter.
What is the capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
peritubular capillaries
Is the glomerulus a knot of capillaries the lies within the renal corpuscle?
Yes
What region of the kidney would you find renal corpuscles?
the renal corpuscles are located in kidney but to say precisely it is located in nephron(blood filtering component) hope that it helped ^^
What are the two parts of renal corpuscles?
Bowman's capsule and glomerulus
What is the name of the capillaries that surround renal tubules?
peritubular capillaries
What is the network of capillaries surrounding the renal tubule?
The glomerulus are a network of capillaries surrounding the renal tube. peritubular capillary beds
What is renalitis?
inflammation of your kidney's renal gland
Is renal colic caused by inflammation of the kidney?
No.
What are the different types of nephrons?
Juxtamedullary Nephron: renal corpuscles close to the base of renal medulla (long loop of Henle and long thin segments that extends in the inner region of renal pyramid) Coritcal Nephron: renal corpuscles in the outer part of the renal cortex (short loop of Henle and hairpin turn in the thick segment) Intermediate Nephron: renal corpuscles in the mid-region of renal cortex (intermediate lenght loop of Henle)
What is the movement of substances from the capillaries into the renal tubules?
Tubular secretion
