Which section of the tubule is connected to the glomerulus?
The Bowman's capsule surrounds the glomerulus, and the glomerulus filtrate enters the top of the nephron.
The portion of the renal tubule that completely surrounds the glomerulus is the?
glomerular (Bowman's) capsule
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 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 correct order an excreted water molecule moves from glomerulus to collecting duct?
It goes from the glomerulus to the bowman's capsule, to the proximal convoluted tubule, to the loop of henle, to the distal convoluted tubule, to the collecting duct.
What are the parts of a nephron in order?
distal convoluted tubule, glomerulus, loop of henle, bowmans capsule, proximal convoluted tubule
What returns filtered blood to the bloodstream after passing through the glomerulus?
the renal tubule?
What is the term for the entire functional structure unit of the kidney from glomerulus through collecting tubule?
Nephron
What normally contains blood Bowman's capsule loop of Henle proximal tubule collecting duct or glomerulus?
The glomerulus contains blood. The others form urine and it's waste products.
What is removed at the proximal convoluted tubule?
About 90 % of the fitered sodium chlorid in glomerulus is reabsorbed in proximal convoluted tubules.
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.
The Macula Densa cells respond to what?
Correct Answer: changes in solute content of the filtrate
