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.
The portion of the nephron receiving filtrate from the glomerular capsule?
proximal convoluted tubule
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 the function of the nephrons in the excretory process?
The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney, responsible for the actual purification and filtration of the blood. About five thousand nephrons are in each kidney, and 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.
What causes the concentration of urea to be higher in the urine than in the filtrate?
During reabsoption most of the water exits the nephron and enters the interstitial fluid. This increases the concentration of ions such as potassium in the nephron. In the collecting duct (at the very end) very little water is left and the concentration of potassium, sodium, etc ions rises (including urea). This is why urine is acidic.
explain how substances are exchanged between the blood entering the nephron and the filtrate leaving the collecting duct?
You just broke my brain cells
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 happens with an increase in the solute concentration of the filtrate in the lumen of the nephron tubules?
it will increase osmolarity of the filtrate
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron along with filtrate?
The glucose that enters the nephron along with the filtrate get absorbed by the glomerulus goes to the proximal convoluted tubule (pct) and again reabsorbed and enters the blood.
In what way is the nephron's filtrate different from urine?
i don`t know
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.
Which structure is the first section of the nephron tubule into which the filtrate enters?
the proximal tubule
The portion of the nephron receiving filtrate from the glomerular capsule?
proximal convoluted tubule
Which part of nephron is a network of capillaries whose job is to reclaim useful materials from the filtrate?
peritubular capillaries
What happens to glucose which the nephron along with a filtrate?
It is reabsorbed into the blood through blood capillaries surroundings the tubule
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.
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.
