What type capillaries make up the glomerulus?
fenestrated
What is the knot of coiled capillaries found in the kidneys and forms the filtrate?
This is a tuft of capillaries called the glomerulus. The glomerulus is one of the key structures that make up the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney.
What are the layers in the renal corpuscle through which filtrate must pass to enter the capsular space?
The renal corpuscle filtration barrier is composed of: the fenestrated endothelium of glomerular capillaries, the fused basal lamina of endothelial cells and podocytes, and the filtration slits of the podocytes.
What do the glomerular capsule and the glomerulus make up?
NephronThe renal corpuscle also known as the Malpighian corpuscle.
Which three parts make up the circulatory system'?
arteries, capillaries and veins
What type of tissue makes up the endothelium of capillaries?
Single layer of Simple Squamous Epithelium
Explain how the blood vessels associated with the renal corpuscle help to maintain a relatively high blood pressure within the glomerulus?
The cluster of capillaries that forms a glomerulus arises from an afferent arteriole. After passing through the glomerular capillaries, blood (minus any filtered fluid) enters an efferent arteriole whose diameter is smaller than that of the afferent vessel. This is instead of entering a venule, the usual circulatory route. The efferent arteriole resists blood flow to some extent, which backs up blood into the glomerulus, increasing pressure in the glomerular capillary.
Which veins open up into the capillaries?
plmonary veins begin as capillaries and end as capillaries
What is the cell that make up filtration membrane in Bowman's capsule?
Nephron in the kidneys. Technically, Bowman's capsule contains the glomerulus.
A drop of blood is releasing oxygen and picking up carbon dioxide what type of blood vessel does this occur in?
capillaries
What is the difference between the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle?
The renal corpuscle is composed of the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus, the site of filtration. The renal tubule is composed of the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal tubule. This is where reabsorption and secretion takes place as the filtrate is converted into urine.
What cell type makes up the endothelium of capillaries?
Endothelial cells also known as epithernal tissue.
