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 returns filtered blood to the bloodstream after passing through the glomerulus?
the renal tubule?
The portion of the renal tubule that completely surrounds the glomerulus is the?
glomerular (Bowman's) capsule
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 cup-shaped closed end of the renal tubule that surrounds the glomerulus?
bowmans capsulebowmans capsule
Are the glomerulus the glomerular capsule and the proximal convoluted tubule all located within the medulla region of the kidney?
Renal Papilla are found in the medulla, but the glomerulus is found in the renal cortex.
What is the network of capillaries surrounding the renal tubule?
The glomerulus are a network of capillaries surrounding the renal tube. peritubular capillary beds
Which parts of the renal tubule is formed by cuboidal epithelial cells bordered by dense microvilli?
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
What is the correct sequence of blood vessels flowing through a body tissue?
renal artery - peritubular network - afferent arteriole - efferent arteriole - renal vein
What happens if the reabsorption of sodium by the renal tubule is inhibited?
reabsorption of water by renal tubule decreases
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 fluid passes through the renal tubule?
A renal tubule passes most of the fluids it processes into the bloodstream
