As blood enters a nephron it flows through a network of capillaries known as a?
Glomerulus
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.
State one significance of having sush s largr network of capillaries?
All the body cells can stay close to the capillaries for the exchange for materials with the blood
What does peritubular capillaries do?
This capillary network surrounds the tubules and plays an important role in secretion and reabsorption, plus it delivers oxygen to kidney cells.
How is kidney nephron adapted to its function?
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. The function of the glomerulus is to filter the resultant fluid that will become urine.
What acts like filters in the excretory system?
In mammals, including humans, there are microscopic units called nephrons.There are about one million of these in each kidney. Blood arriving from the heart passes through a network of capillaries (the glomerulus), and small molecules pass through pores in the capillary walls and between branches of specialized cells (podocytes) surrounding the capillaries.The filtrate (the liquid passing through this filtering system) contains water (we filter about 150 liters a day!) with small molecules in solution, such as glucose, amino acids, urea, and ions of various salts. This filtrate moves into Bowman's capsuleof the nephron.
Which is a renal disease in which substances from the immune response to the streptococcus bacterium collect in the capillary network of the nephron?
renal disease in which substances from the immune response to the streptococcus bacterium collect in the capillary network of the nephron
The small network of capill Aries in the upper end of the nephron is?
glomerulus
What does the alveoli of a rich network contain?
Capillaries
What is the network of capillaries surrounding the renal tubule?
The glomerulus are a network of capillaries surrounding the renal tube. peritubular capillary beds
What is the capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
peritubular capillaries
Each alveolus is surrounded by a network of what?
the plomonary vien
