What else can I help you with?
Which part of the nephron consists of a knot of capillaries?
If by knot you mean a complicated intertwining of capillaries surrounding the nephron, they are called the peritubular capillaries. They are largely responsible for the bodies ability to concentrate urine and maintain homeostasis.
Which group of capillaries found in a nephron?
The glomerulus
Each nephron contains a cluster of what?
capillaries
What are the collection capillaries at the beginning of the nephron?
glomerulus
What is the vascular part of the nephron of the kedney called?
The vascular part of the nephron in the kidney is called the renal corpuscle. It consists of the glomerulus, a network of capillaries, and Bowman's capsule, a structure that surrounds the glomerulus. This is where the process of blood filtration in the kidney begins.
What are blood vessels called that surround the nephron loop?
Renal capillaries, aka the glomerulus, where nitrogenous wastes and excess water in the blood plasma diffuse over to the nephron to be filtered and excreted.
The cluster of blood capillaries found in each nephron is?
Glomerulus
Which part of nephron is a network of capillaries whose job is to reclaim useful materials from the filtrate?
peritubular capillaries
What is the ball of specialized capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs?
a ball , tightly coiled capillaries within a kidney nephron where renal filtration occurs
Which structure contains the capillaries responsible for filtering blood into the nephron?
The glomerulous
As blood enters a nephron it flows through a network of capillaries known as a?
Glomerulus
A nephon consists of a renal corpuscle and a what?
nephron consists of a cluster of blood capillaries called glomerulus and a renal tubule. now the renal tubule is swollen at one end and forms Bowman's capsule. the glomerulus surrounds this capsule and they together are called renal corpuscle. so the nephron consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. and the renal tubule is convoluted at first (also covered by blood capillaries) , then forms a U shape called "loop of henle" .then it ends into the collecting duct.
