Which part of the kidney filters blood?
The structure that filters the blood in the kidneys is the nephron, or more specifically the glomerulus.
What is the part of the renal tubule function is filtration of blood?
renal cortex
Which organ serves to filter waste from the blood?
The name of that organ is kidney. The pair of kidney is situated in posterior part of your abdomen.
What are urinary system?
the urinary system filters the blood which is from our heart parts: kidney ureters urethra urinary bladder (neprhons-important part of the kidney)
What is the function of the glomerolus?
In the kidney, a tubular structure called the nephron filters blood to form urine. At the beginning of the nephron, the glomerulus /ɡlɒˈmɛrələs/ is a network (tuft) of capillariesthat performs the first step of filtering blood.The glomerulus is surrounded by Bowman's capsule. The blood is filtered through the capillaries of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule. The Bowman's capsule empties the filtrate into a tubule that is also part of the nephron.A glomerulus receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation. Unlike most other capillary beds, the glomerulus drains into an efferent arteriole rather than a venule. The resistance of these arterioles results in high pressure within the glomerulus, aiding the process of ultrafiltration, where fluids and soluble materials in the blood are forced out of the capillaries and into Bowman's capsule.A glomerulus and its surrounding Bowman's capsule constitute a renal corpuscle, the basic filtration unit of the kidney. The rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli, and thus the measure of the overall renal function, is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
Which part of the kidney filters blood?
The structure that filters the blood in the kidneys is the nephron, or more specifically the glomerulus.
What part of your body takes the dirty water out of your blood?
The kidney is responsible for most of the filtering of your blood.

It takes place in a part of the kidney called the nephron.
What is the part of the renal tubule function is filtration of blood?
renal cortex
Why Is selectivity needed for filtration?
the process of filtration is very important in certain cells of the body . it happens when the fluid forces paticles through filtering membranes its a major part of the kidney function.
