What is the last tubule in the nephron?
The last tubule in the nephron is the distal convoluted tubule. It is responsible for further reabsorption of water and electrolytes, as well as secretion of waste products.
Where does secretion in the nephron occur?
In the proximal tubule.
The portion of the nephron closest to the renal corpuscle is the?
Proximal tubule
Where does glucose reabsorption occur in the nephron?
Glucose reabsorption takes place in the proximal renal tubule. This tubule is a portion of the nephron that contains fluid. The functions of the nephron include the reabsorption and secretion of various substances like ions, glucose, and amino acids.
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 another name for a kidney tubule?
Nephron
The portion of the nephron that empties into a calyx is the?
The collecting tubule
What is the sequence of the nephron in order from glomerular?
From the glomerulus, the sequence of the nephron is proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
What is the structural unit of the kidney?
Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephron It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. It is the nephron's initial filtering component. The components of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule.
The sequence of structures that urea passes through in the nephron is?
Urea in the blood is filtered by the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule, then it travels through the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct. Urea can be reabsorbed and recycled back into the blood at various points along the nephron.
What is the portion of the nephron that empties into the collecting duct?
The distal convoluted tubule is the portion of the nephron that empties into the collecting ducts. It is the last segment of the nephron.
Is the collecting duct part of a nephron?
Distal Convoluted Tubule
