What is the overall process that refines the filtrate and ultimately returns water and valuable solutes to the blood is known as?
reabsorption
Summarize reabsorption in the proximal tubule?
Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into the blood by active and passive transport.
What is the process that is performed by the glomerulus that forms blood plasma without blood proteins?
Glomerular Filtration - a passive process in which fluid passes from the blood into the glomerular capsule (part of the renal tubule) Once in the capsule the fluid is called filtrate and is essentially blood plasma without proteins
What materials are reabsorbed back into the blood from the nePhric filtrate?
mainly glucose (in the renal tubule) and water (in the collecting duct)
What substances are removed from the filtrate and reabsorbed by the capillaries?
red blood cells
Define tubular secretion?
Process whereby selected molecules are actively transported from the blood into the filtrate Process whereby selected molecules are actively transported from the blood into the filtrate
This is a nephron process that results in a substance in blood entering the already formed filtrate?
secretion
What is the overall process that refines the filtrate and ultimately returns water and valuable solutes to the blood is known as?
reabsorption
The movement of nutrients into the bloodstream?
Absorption is the process by which nutrients are moved into lymph and blood.
What happens to filtrate volume when systemic blood pressure is decreased?
Filtrate volume decreases when systemic blood pressure decreases.
The filtrate removed from the blood by the kidneys might contain?
The kidneys remove toxic substances from the blood. The main substance that the kidneys filtrate from the blood is known as urea.
What is a liquid that carries oxygen nutrients and waste through the body?
Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body cells, and it removes waste and takes it to the kidneys where it is filtered from the blood and passed to the bladder. From there, it is passed out of the body through urinating.
How does oxygen and nutrients and waste passed from the blood into the organs and back?
The Arteries carry the blood away from the heart to the other organs and the veins bring it back when the blood has no more nutrients. From Unkown
What body process breaks food into nutrients?
Once the food has reached the stomach and is worked on by enzymes to break them down into absorbable forms of proteins and carbohydrates and other nutrients the 'food' is now passed into the small intestine from where it is absorbed accross the small intestine lining through the cells into the blood and taken round the body. On its way round the body, the nutrients in the blood are absorbed into the places where they are needed. To sum this up, the body absorbs the nutrients into the blood through capillaries in the intestines.
What may occur is after filtration there is an excess of nutrients in the filtrate?
Well let me tell you child. After filtration you need to RUSH to the hospital, And eat oranges to help your blood pressure flow:)
