Which part of the nephron receives fluid from the glomerular capsular space?
The filtrate from Bowman's capsule first travels to the proximal tubule of the nephron.
The portion of the renal tubule that completely surrounds the glomerulus is the?
glomerular (Bowman's) capsule
The portion of the nephron receiving filtrate from the glomerular capsule?
proximal convoluted tubule
The urine first passes from the glomerular capsule to the?
dont know u answer me- improved answer: proximal convoluted tubule
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 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 is the function in SIMPLE terms of bowman's capsule?
In SIMPLE way, Bowman's capsule collects things. A Bowman's capsule is the cup shaped end of the renal tubule. It is also called the glomerular capsule, which encloses the glomerulus, and together the two make up the renal corpuscle.
Where is the primary site at which tubular secretion occur?
Tubular secretion is a part of urine formation occurring within the nephrons of the kidneys. After glomerular filtration, in which fluids from the blood pass into the glomerular capsule of the renal tubule, the filtrate is subject to tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion within the convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the nephrons.
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.
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 structure reabsorbs the most glomerular filtrate?
The proximal convoluted tubule. It reabsorbs almost 99% of the glomerular filtrate.
