Where does glomerular filtration occur?
Blood filtration takes place in the kidneys ( specifically in the Bowman's capsule )....
Where do filtration of the blood and re-absorption of nutrients occur?
filteration of blood:- is in the kidney absorption of nutrients :- is in the small intestine
Whatr is a nephron?
== == A nephron is where filtration of blood will occur and it is also the million miscroscopic devices inside the kidney
The processes of filtration and reabsorption that occur in the nephron lead to the formation of?
Urine formation in the kidney
Where does filtration occur in the human body?
The liver breaks down harmful substances as well as non-harmful products such as the deamination of proteins, but the metabolites are put back into the blood circulation. The kidneys then filter these metabolites and other substances out of the blood, returning "cleaned" blood back to the body and harmful substances excreted in water and ultimately urine.
Describe the stages of how filtration occur in the nephron?
In the glomerulus. Note this is not filtration of urine, it is the filtration of blood leading to the production of urine as a waste product.
Where does filteration occur in our body?
Kidney filters blood.
What is the name of the blood vessels that carry arterial blood into the capillary bed where filtration will occur?
loop of Henley
if a drop in pH of the blood occur, the kidney will?
It will stop working properly. When the kidney is in this state, it is known as metabolic acidosis.
What is the primary driving force that produces glomerular filtration?
Osmotic pressure in the blood vessel or cell pushes water from a place with a lower concentration of dissolved solids (there is more water on that side, proportionally), to the other side if there is a higher concentration of dissolved solids (because proportionally there is less water)
What may occur is after filtration there is an excess of nutrients in the filtrate?
Well let me tell you child. After filtration you need to RUSH to the hospital, And eat oranges to help your blood pressure flow:)
How can people survive with one kidney?
The short story is that the remaining kidney is able to compensate for the lost kidney relatively rapidly. This occurs especially through hormonal changes that allow the remaining kidney to increase how much work it does.Kidney work is measured by a term called the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which indicates how much blood the kidney filters per unit time. After the removal of a kidney, hormonal changes occur that ultimately cause GFR in the remaining kidney to increase. Provided that the remaining kidney is healthy and that an adequate GFR is ultimately reached, individuals will survive with a single kidney with few complications.
