What else can I help you with?
What organ has a proximal tubule?
kidney
What is another name for a kidney tubule?
Nephron
Aldosterone acts on what part of the kidney?
Aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct in the kidney to increase sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion.
What are occurs in the proximal tubule?
The regulation of pH of the filtrate is what occurs in the proximal tubule. The regulation occurs by exchanging hydrogen ions for bicarbonate ions. The proximal tubule is part of the duct system of the kidney.
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 is the tube after the Bowman's capsule?
The tube after the Bowman's capsule in the kidney is the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). This tubule is responsible for reabsorbing water, electrolytes, and nutrients from the filtrate back into the bloodstream.
What is the structural unit of the kidney?
Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephron It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. It is the nephron's initial filtering component. The components of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule.
What are the processes of distal tubule?
This is in the kidney and it mainly controls how much or little water is kept in the body
What is the term for the entire functional structure unit of the kidney from glomerulus through collecting tubule?
Nephron
What are nephrons made up of?
Each one consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule which carry out the functions of the nephron. The renal tubule consists of the convoluted tubule and the loop of Heinle http://coe.fgcu.edu/Faculty/GreeneP/kidney/nephron.html.
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
What portion of the kidney produces urine?
The renal medulla contains collecting ducts.
