Which group of capillaries found in a nephron?
The glomerulus
Where are podocytes found in the human body?
In the glomerulus of the kidney.
The cluster of blood capillaries found in each nephron is?
Glomerulus
Are the glomerulus the glomerular capsule and the proximal convoluted tubule all located within the medulla region of the kidney?
Renal Papilla are found in the medulla, but the glomerulus is found in the renal cortex.
What part of the nephron has been damaged if there is protein found in the urine?
The glomerulus
What is surrounded by the Bowman's Capsule?
the glomerulus
What type of blood vessel is likely to be found in glomerulus?
Ans: Different arteriole the different arteriole carries blood from the branch of the renal artery into the glomerulus, the different arteriole carries blood away from the glomerulus and back into the branch of the anal vein.
What is the structure of glomerulus?
The glomerulus is a cluster of capillaries that can be found in the kidney. Each cluster is next to a Bowman's capsule, which is the "filter unit" of the nephron. Blood passes from the renal artery into the glomerulus at high pressure, allowing small substances to diffuse into the nephron, via the Bowman's capsule.
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.
Filtration occurs at the -------- part of the nephron?
In the Glomerules
What is the Clump of capillaries in the kidney?
The glomerulus
Which section of the tubule is connected to the glomerulus?
The Bowman's capsule surrounds the glomerulus, and the glomerulus filtrate enters the top of the nephron.
