Which organ filters urea out of the blood?
The glomerulus, it is part of the nephron.
Filtrate is formed within the glomerulus by the process of?
The filtrate is formed as a liquid which is forced to pass through the walls of glomerulus. This is formed after the process of filtration.
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 vessel directly feeds into the glomerulus?
The afferent arteriole feeds directly into the glomerulus.
What is part of the nephron where substaces are filtered from glomerulus?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephron
Where is glomerulus located?
Located within the Bowman's Capsule
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 Blood vessel located between afferent and efferent arterioles?
Glomerulus capillary
Which organ filters urea out of the blood?
The glomerulus, it is part of the nephron.
Capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
Glomerulus
Where is the glomerulus found?
Glomerulus is an anatomy term that represents globular structures of entwined vessels or fibers. The glomerulus is located before the kidneys and is the first step in extracting urine from the blood.
Is the glomerulus a knot of capillaries the lies within the renal corpuscle?
Yes
Filtrate is formed within the glomerulus by the process of?
The filtrate is formed as a liquid which is forced to pass through the walls of glomerulus. This is formed after the process of filtration.
What is surrounded by the Bowman's Capsule?
the glomerulus
What is the force that causes water and solutes to be filtered by the glomerulus?
Hydrostatic pressure. The vessel draining the glomerulus has a smaller internal diameter than the vessel feeding it. This means that blood doesn't exit the glomerulus as quickly as it enters. This creates a pressure, called hydrostatic pressure, within the glomerular capillaries and that pressure forces the fluids and many solutes into the glomerular capsule surrounding the glomerulus.
Filtration occurs at the -------- part of the nephron?
In the Glomerules
What is the Clump of capillaries in the kidney?
The glomerulus
