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 is the capillary network within the renal corpuscle?
peritubular capillaries
What are the two main parts of a nephron?
The two main parts of a nephron are the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle. The renal tubule consists of the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule, responsible for filtering and processing the blood. The renal corpuscle contains the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, where blood is filtered to form urine.
What is the last portion of the renal tubule?
the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) tubule.
What fluid passes through the renal tubule?
A renal tubule passes most of the fluids it processes into the bloodstream
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
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.
The portion of the nephron closest to the renal corpuscle is the?
Proximal tubule
What are the components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by filtrate?
proximal continuous tubule loop of henle distal continuous tubule
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
What are nephrons made up of?
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 http://coe.fgcu.edu/Faculty/GreeneP/kidney/nephron.html.
What is the driving force for the filtration of blood by the renal corpuscle?
Higher pressure in glomerular capillaries than in the surrounding Bowman's capsule
