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.
Is glomerular hydrostatic pressure the same as hydrostatic pressure in the glomerular capsule?
no
The renal corpuscle includes which parts of the nephron?
Bowman's capsule and glomerulus (capillary tuft).
What structure reabsorbs the most glomerular filtrate?
The proximal convoluted tubule. It reabsorbs almost 99% of the glomerular filtrate.
What is the portion of the nephron that dips into the medulla?
The Nephron loop, or also called the loop of Henle.
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.
What is the name of a hollow bulb at the proximal end of the nephron?
glomerular capsule.
What is the hollow bulb at the end of proximal end of the nephron?
glomerular capsule
In the nephron where does glomerular filtration take place?
Glomerulus (Renal Corpuscle)
What part of the nephron is involved in the glomerular filtration process of urine formation?
filtration takes place only at glomeruli part of nephron and nowhere else.
Which organ filters urea out of the blood?
The glomerulus, it is part of the nephron.
The portion of the nephron receiving filtrate from the glomerular capsule?
proximal convoluted tubule
The sequence of structures that urea passes through in the nephron is?
A nephron is composed of the Bowman's capsule, the proximal tubule, the loop of the nephron (called the loop of Henle), the distal tubule, and the collecting duct.
What are the three basic process that occur in the nephron?
Filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion
Why is glucose present in the glomerular filtrate but absent in the urine?
Glucose is absorbed in the nephron of the kidney, if it is present in very high amounts or unable to be reabsorbed, like with diabetes, it will be present in urine.
What sequence shows the correct path of urine through the excretory system?
Only using the following: bladder, calix, collecting duct, distal convoluted tubule, glomerular capsule, glomerulus, nephron loop, proximal convoluted tubule, renal artery, renal pelvis, ureter, urethra, urethral meatus.
Why we can't see the glumerular capsules convoluted tubules kidney loops or collecting ducts individually?
glomerular,capsules,Convoluted tubules ,kidney loops are the parts of Nephron... Nephron is the basic unit of a kidney.... group of nephrons constitute the kidney.. so you can't see all of them as individuals... I think you may have got your answer... Thanks.
