What does convection occurs in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
When friction occurs?
Friction occurs when two material bodies in contact slide past one another.
Does wave interference occurs for all types of waves?
Yes, wave interference occurs for all types of waves.
Diffraction occurs when waves what around the edge of a barrier?
Diffraction occurs when waves bend around the edge of a barrier.
When an object rolls over a surface the kind of friction that occurs is called friction.?
The friction that occurs is Rolling Friction
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
Where does filtration occurs in the kidney?
On the top on the kidney.
Were does filtration of wastes takes place inside the kidneys in the?
The filtration of wastes takes place in the functional units of the kidney called nephrons. Specifically, it occurs in the glomerulus, which is a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries. Blood is filtered through the glomerulus, allowing waste products and excess water to be removed and eventually excreted as urine.
Name the excretory unit of kidney?
The nephrons are where the filtration process occurs. If you want a more complex answer, ask about the process itself.
Where does filtration occur in the human body?
The liver breaks down harmful substances as well as non-harmful products such as the deamination of proteins, but the metabolites are put back into the blood circulation. The kidneys then filter these metabolites and other substances out of the blood, returning "cleaned" blood back to the body and harmful substances excreted in water and ultimately urine.
In each kidney there are nephrons?
Yes, many in each kidney. Nephrons are the functional unit of the kidney where filtration of the blood contents occurs and urine is produced - and its degree of concentration is determined. Various hormones and sympathetic stimulants act on the kidney to regulate these processes.
Where does filtration of blood occurs?
glomerulus
Why is the drop in blood pressure important in exchanging fluids within the capillaries?
It is important because capillaries do most of their work of exchanging gases, oxygen and carbon dioxide, by diffusion, which works best under less pressure. ???That is not quite right. Exchange of gases occurs when there are different concentrations in a given sample and it has nothing to do with pressure. Filtration occurs under different pressure, diffusion happens regardless of pressure.
What is the substance that the capillaries absorb from the lungs?
The capillaries absorb oxygen at the lungs. This occurs near the alveoli.
The transport of oxygen by hemoglobin occurs in the?
capillaries between the cells in the lungs or the capillaries between the cells in the body
What always occurs down a hydrostatic pressure gradient?
Filtration
Which stage of urine formation does blood plasma get pushed into nephron?
The blood pressure in these capillaries is relatively high, so pressure filtration occurs. The blood's plasma and small waste materials and chemicals (the contents of the closet) are pushed out of the blood into the nephron, leaving behind larger proteins, nutrients, and blood cells.
