The portion of the nephron closest to the renal corpuscle is the?
Proximal tubule
What section of the nephron filters blood plasma?
renal corpuscle
What capsule is part of the renal corpuscle that surrounds the glomerulus of the nephron?
Bowman's
What are the two main parts of a nephron?
it consistsof two parts the renal corpusle and the renal tubule. The question I gave my students was What are the two main parts of a nephron and that was the answer
In the nephron where does glomerular filtration take place?
Glomerulus (Renal Corpuscle)
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
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 major mechanism responsible for preventing the filtration of proteins in the nephron?
arterial pressure and filtration size in the renal corpuscle
What is the structural unit of the kidney?
Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephron It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. It is the nephron's initial filtering component. The components of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule.
What is the expanded end of a nephron?
The expanded end of a nephron is called the bowman's capsule. It is a cup-shaped structure that serves as a filter to remove waster from the body.
Portion of the kidney containing the bulk of the nephron?
Renal Cortex
Which regions of the nephron function independently of hormonal control for the most part?
Renal corpuscle, proximal tubule, and loop of Henle.
