In the nephron where does glomerular filtration take place?
Glomerulus (Renal Corpuscle)
What are the three basic process that occur in the nephron?
Filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion
The processes of filtration and reabsorption that occur in the nephron lead to the formation of?
Urine formation in the kidney
What is the main function of the glomerulus in urine formation (Glomerulus is one of the four main structures of the nephron)?
filtration of blood
What is the main function of the glomerulus in urine formation (Glomerulus is one of the four main structures of the nephron)?
filtration of blood
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 process of the kidney taking out the impurities from the blood?
The kidney removes impurities from the blood in two ways. These processes are known as ultra filtration and selective reabsorption. The active component of the kidney involved with filtration is the nephron.
What is the cup-shaped part of the nephron?
The cup-shaped part of the nephron is called the renal (or Bowman's) capsule. It is located at the beginning of the nephron and surrounds the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. The renal capsule helps in the filtration of blood and the formation of urine.
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
What are the three steps of urine formation and in what part of the nephron does each occur?
Urine formation and the adjustment of blood composition involve three major processes: glomerular filtration by the glomeruli, and tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion in the renal tubules. In addition, the collecting ducts work in concert with the nephrons to concentrate or dilute the urine..Functions of the nephrons include filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. Via these functional processes, the kidneys regulate the volume, composition, and pH of the blood, and eliminate nitrogenous metabolic wastes.
What is the microscopic chemical filtration factory?
Nephron
