What structure of the kidney receives urine first?
In fact, the kidney dose not receives the urine but it produces the urine by receiving the filtrate from the blood vessels . and the first part wich receives the filtrate is the " glomerus"
What is Glomular Filtrate?
Perhaps, you wanted to know about 'glomerular filtrate'. Glomerulus is a microscopic structure in the kidney, consisting of capillary networks. It is here where the actual filtration takes place. If you wring a wet towel, you can see how water is squeezed out. Likewise, in the glomerulus, high water (hydrostatic) pressure leads to filtration, and the filtrate is called glomerular filtrate.
What is the urine-producing unit in the kidney called?
Nephrons. This includes the glomerulus where the blood stream encounters a connective tissue filter, the loop of Henle where the filtrate is concentrated and salts are exchanged and the collecting duct into which urine is collected.
The amount of primary filtrate produced by the kidney per minute is called?
The Glomerular Filtration Rate
Is the glomerulus thought of as the filter of the kidney since it forms a fluid called filtrate or ultrafiltrate from the blood?
true
Where does the filtrate go after the kidney?
the urinary bladder.
Which thing are the constituents of kidney filtrate is reabsorbed by osmosis?
Water
After leaving the kidney where does the filtrate go?
Urine flows from kidney to the urinary bladder through ureters. Urinary bladder collects and from urinary bladder it goes outside the body through urethra
After leaving the kidney through ureters the urine is collected in a sac-like organ called?
The urinary bladder
Which cells of the kidney are chemoreceptors that respond to changes in solute content of the filtrate?
macula densa cells
The process of filtration takes place in a structure called the?
It takes place in a part of the kidney called the nephron.
Parathyroid hormone PTH increases what?
increases Ca++ (but not phosphate) reabsorption from the glomerular filtrate of kidney nephrons
