What is the hollow bulb at the end of proximal end of the nephron?
glomerular capsule
Which organ filters urea out of the blood?
The glomerulus, it is part of the nephron.
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 is a major difference between filtrate in the nephron and urine leaving the bladder?
The filtrate contains amino acids and vitamins, but urine does not.
Where does the transition from an afferent arteriole to an efferent arteriole occur?
glomerulus. The afferent arteriole leads to a ball of capillaries called a glomerulus which is enclosed in a nephron structure called the glomerular capsule. Blood leaves the glomerulus by way of the efferent arteriole.
Which part of the nephron receives fluid from the glomerular capsular space?
The filtrate from Bowman's capsule first travels to the proximal tubule of the nephron.
What is the hollow bulb at the end of proximal end of the nephron?
glomerular capsule
What is the name of a hollow bulb at the proximal end of the nephron?
glomerular capsule.
In the nephron where does glomerular filtration take place?
Glomerulus (Renal Corpuscle)
What is the function of bowman capsule?
The Bowman's Capsule is part of a Nephron, which would be found in the Kidney. It's function is to collect the filtrate from the Glomerulus, passing it on to the Proximal Convoluted Tubules (PCT's); subsequently, to the rest of the Nephron.
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 is the function of tubular reabsorption?
Tubular reabsorption is the movement of filtrate from renal tubules back into blood in response to the body's specific needs.
Which organ filters urea out of the blood?
The glomerulus, it is part of the nephron.
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.
Why is glucose present in the glomerular filtrate but absent in the urine?
Glucose is absorbed in the nephron of the kidney, if it is present in very high amounts or unable to be reabsorbed, like with diabetes, it will be present in urine.
The renal corpuscle includes which parts of the nephron?
Bowman's capsule and glomerulus (capillary tuft).
What are the anatomical structures of a nephron?
Blood is filtered out of the glomerulus, a "knot" of porous capillaries, into the glomerular capsule. From there the filtrate passes though the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal convoluted tubule where the substrate concentration of the filtrate is fine tuned. The distal convoluted tubule empties into a collecting duct but that is generally not considered part of the nephron itself.
