What is the function and location of the nephrons?
The nephrons are found in the kidneys (about 1 million in each kidney). These structures are responsible for filtering the blood and then reabsorbing wanted substances further down the nephron. Blood reaches the top of the nephron (called the glomerulus), and the smaller molecules, such as glucose, water, urea and ions diffuse across the glomerular membrane. Further down the nephron, at the convoluted tubules, the glucose and some of the water and ions are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, either by diffusion or by active transport, if the substances need to go against a concentration gradient. What's left in the nephron is a mixture of excess water and ions, as well as the toxin urea. These pass out of the nephron and through the ureters into the bladder, as urine.
When a molecule is reabsorbed from the lumen of the nephron where does it go?
The blood vessel that carries blood to the glomerulus is called the afferent vessel. But the glomerulus is not close ended nad the vessel that leaves it, called the efferent vessel, carries on beside the nephron and collects the components that are reabsorbed.
What organ removes metabolic waste from the blood?
Oh, dude, that's the kidneys! They're like the body's little janitors, filtering out all the junk from your blood and turning it into pee. So next time you gotta go, just thank your kidneys for doing their dirty work!
What is the Correct order of filtrate flow through the nephron?
Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Located in pyramids of medulla (triangular sections of the kidney). Nephron contains renal corpuscles (Glomerular capusule aka: Bowmans Capsule) which contain renal tubules (Glomerulus-filtrates blood as is flows through kidney, afferent/efferent). Waste by way of loop of Henle (exits capsule), go to collecting ducts. Kidney-renal corpuscles-afferent arteriole-bowmans capsule-glomerulus-efferent arteriole-proximal convoluted tubule-descending loop of henle-thin segment-acscending loop of henle-distal convoluted tubule-collecting ducts-major calyces-renal pelvis-uretER-urinary bladder-urethra (female 4cm long- con't from urethra-out) (male 20cm long-urethra made up of three parts-con't from urethra-prostatic urethra-membranous urethra-penile urethra-out) I believe that is correct. What confused me is the afferent/efferent/tubules. They are three separate passage ways. Aff/Eff is for blood. Afferent is where blood enters-waste goes to capsule-waste leaves capsule by 1st entering proximal tubule of loop of henle-blood that was "not" waste goes back to the body by way of efferent. Notice the difference in female and male.
What happend when blood flow to the kidneys decreases?
I think if blood flow to the kidneys decreased, then the filtration rate of the blood would also decrease. The blood is forced through the anterior arteriole at high hydrostatic pressure- forcing the plasma through the basement membrane of the glomerulus in our kindneys' nephra- the bits that do the filtering.
After passing through a nephron where do the waste products in blood go?
into the urinary bladder.

Blood move to the heart?
this is two step process.in the first process blood go from the heart and in the second step blood come into the heart for clean. when it goes from the heart it is cleaned blood,but when it returns it become dirty and our heart performs as a filter and it cleans our blood. this is the chemistry of blood, hopefully you would like it.

How do a ureter and a nephron differ?
A neuron (or a NERVE CELL) is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrical and chemical signaling. Chemical signaling occurs via synapses, specialized connections with other cells. Neurons connect to each other to form networks. Neurons are the core components of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral ganglia. A number of specialized types of neurons exist: sensory neurons respond to touch, sound, light and numerous other stimuli affecting cells of the sensory organs that then send signals to the spinal cord and brain. Motor neurons receive signals from the brain and spinal cord, cause muscle contractions, and affect glands. Interneurons connect neurons to other neurons within the same region of the brain or spinal cord. Red blood cells are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate organism's principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues via the blood flow through the circulatory system. They take up oxygen in the lungs or gills and release it while squeezing through the body's capillaries.

How does one learn about filtering spam?
One can learn about filtering spam in many different ways. They can look at all of the how-to websites that are available online, or they can go to sites like Wikipedia.
Where do all the nutrient go in the digestive system?
by blood to the liver to get cleaned ( from any poisonous substances) then again by blood to the cells hope i helped :D by hala saad
