What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?
The glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate get absorbed by the glomerulus goes to the proximal convoluted tubule (pct) and again reabsorbed and enters the blood.
What region of the kidney you would find glomerular capsules?
The bowman's capsule collects the filtrate and it enters the tubules. All glucose is reabsorbed immediately into the blood capillaries. As the rest of the filtrate travels through the tubules water and salts needed by the body are reabsorbed into the blood capillaries.yo yo
What happens after blood enters the glomerulus in the kidney?
The glomerulus is the cluster of capillaries that branch off the renal artery in the kidneys. It is here that filtrationtakes place - small molecules such as glucose, water, ions and amino acids diffuse through the narrow capillary walls and into the nephron.
What structure regulates what enters all leaves the cell?
Cell wall
How does its high plus pressure condition aid its function of filtrate formation?
blood plasma is secreted from vessels in the glomular capsule. the higher the pressure of the blood when it enters the glomular capsule, the more plasma will be secreted. It's like having a water balloon with a few holes in it--if you squeeze the balloon (add more pressure), then water goes out faster. The plasma that is secreted into the glomular space is called filtrate. The more plasma secreted, the more filtrate that is produced.. The higher the pressure of plasma, the more plasma that is secreted.
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.
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?
The glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate get absorbed by the glomerulus goes to the proximal convoluted tubule (pct) and again reabsorbed and enters the blood.
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron wit the filtrate?
In most cases it is reabsorbed. It there is too much, it will be "spilled" into the urine.
The filtrate within the nephron becomes urine only when it passes through the distal convoluted tubules and enters the collecting ducts?
False
What is the nephron process?
The nephron process is where the blood enters the glomerulus and is absorbed. It is then processed through the kidney's and turned into urine.
What region of the kidney you would find glomerular capsules?

What causes the concentration of urea to be higher in the urine than in the filtrate?
During reabsoption most of the water exits the nephron and enters the interstitial fluid. This increases the concentration of ions such as potassium in the nephron. In the collecting duct (at the very end) very little water is left and the concentration of potassium, sodium, etc ions rises (including urea). This is why urine is acidic.
As blood enters a nephron it flows through a network of capillaries known as a?
Glomerulus
Where does blood plasma enter the nephron and what ultimately does this plasma turn into?
it enters the vain and the plasma comes out as poo
Do nephrons form urine?
Blood is filtered through the bowmans capsule (large proteins are left in the bloodstream). The fluid that remains in the nephron after filtration is called the filtrate.The filtrate enters the proximal tubule. Glucose, amino acids, and water are secreted (released into bloodstream). The filtrate begins to darken with less water in it.The filtrate then moves on to the Loop of Henle. On descent, water leaves the filtrate by osmosis and on ascent; sodium and chloride leave the filtrate by active transport. This is necessary to produce concentrated urine. The loop of henle becomes less permeable as it goes ascends so less sodium and chloride leave the filtrate as the filtrate makes its way up the loop.The filtrate then moves on to the Distal Tubule where pH is regulated and sodium potassium, and calcium levels are controlled. The filtrate becomes more concentrated here.The filtrate then moves into the Collecting Duct. The collecting duct is what connects the nephrons to the ureter. It participates in electrolyte and fluid balance through reabsorption and excretion.(I did this for a Grade 12 Biology lab so this is just a collection of stuff I got off the internet from various good sources! anybody else who was just as confused as I was when I got this question!)
What is tubular load?
The total amount of a substance that enters the tubular portion of the nephron each minute is said to be tubular load.
As blood enters the kidneys everything except what is filtered out?
The kidneys are concerned with urine production, which is done to to regulate the contents of the internal environment. The functional unit of the kidney is called the nephron. At the start of the nephron is a structure called Bowman capsure. This structure takes the filtrates out of the blood from a convoluted cappillary network called the glomerulus. Very much of the contents of the plasma is filtered, only leaving Red Blood Cells and plasma proteins which are both to big to be filtered. As the filtrate passes along the nephron most of its contents are removed back into the blood. The contorl of what is in the urinr comes mostly from this reabsorption, not the initial filtration, and it might be interesting to note that up to 50% of the urea is reabsorbed back into the blood not all goes into the urine. so in a nutshell ? can someone please make this more general ??? Plasma proteins, cells and platelets are too large to pass through the membrane; they remain in the blood. :D
