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.
What returns filtered blood to the bloodstream after passing through the glomerulus?
the renal tubule?
What is removed at the proximal convoluted tubule?
About 90 % of the fitered sodium chlorid in glomerulus is reabsorbed in proximal convoluted tubules.
The Macula Densa cells respond to what?
Correct Answer: changes in solute content of the filtrate
How does the tissue of the kidneys structure to aid in filtration?
Function * Ultrafiltiration: the process by which fluid is filtered out of the blood by the glomerulus. * The blood pressure in a glomerulus causes part of the blood plasma to leak through the capillary walls. The red blood cells and plasma proteins are too big to pass out of the capillary, so the fluid that does filter through is plasma without the protein. The fluid thus consists mainly of water with dissolved salts, glucose, urea and uric acid. * Selective Reabsorption: the process of absorbing back the substances needed by the body. * The filtrate from the glomerulus collects in the renal capsule and trickles down the renal tubule. * As it does so, the capillaries which surround the tubule absorb the substance the body needs back into the blood. * ** The glucose is reabsorbed with much of the water. ** Some of the salts are taken back to keep the correct concentration in the blood. ** *** Salts not needed by the body are left to pass down the kidney tubule with the urea and uric acid. *** They continue down the renal tubule into the pelvis of the kidney, passes down the ureter and to the bladder.

What is the correct order an excreted water molecule moves from glomerulus to collecting duct?
It goes from the glomerulus to the bowman's capsule, to the proximal convoluted tubule, to the loop of henle, to the distal convoluted tubule, to the collecting duct.
What are the parts of a nephron in order?
distal convoluted tubule, glomerulus, loop of henle, bowmans capsule, proximal convoluted tubule
What returns filtered blood to the bloodstream after passing through the glomerulus?
the renal tubule?
The portion of the renal tubule that completely surrounds the glomerulus is the?
glomerular (Bowman's) capsule
What is the term for the entire functional structure unit of the kidney from glomerulus through collecting tubule?
Nephron
What is the cup-shaped closed end of the renal tubule that surrounds the glomerulus?
bowmans capsulebowmans capsule
What is the difference between the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle?
The renal corpuscle is composed of the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus, the site of filtration. The renal tubule is composed of the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal tubule. This is where reabsorption and secretion takes place as the filtrate is converted into urine.
What normally contains blood Bowman's capsule loop of Henle proximal tubule collecting duct or glomerulus?
The glomerulus contains blood. The others form urine and it's waste products.
What is removed at the proximal convoluted tubule?
About 90 % of the fitered sodium chlorid in glomerulus is reabsorbed in proximal convoluted tubules.
Which structure is the first section of the nephron tubule into which the filtrate enters?
the proximal tubule
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.
