What else can I help you with?
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 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)
The portion of the nephron receiving filtrate from the glomerular capsule?
The portion of the nephron receiving filtrate from the glomerular capsule is the proximal convoluted tubule. It is responsible for reabsorbing substances such as glucose, ions, and water from the filtrate into the blood. This process helps regulate the body's balance of electrolytes and fluid volume.
What is the hollow bulb at the end of proximal end of the nephron?
The hollow bulb at the proximal end of the nephron is called Bowman's capsule. It is a cup-like structure that surrounds the glomerulus and is responsible for filtering blood to initiate the process of urine formation in the kidneys.
The renal corpuscle includes which parts of the nephron?
Bowman's capsule and glomerulus (capillary tuft).
Which structures form the filtration membrane in the nephron?
The filtration membrane in the nephron is formed by the fenestrated endothelium of the glomerular capillaries, the glomerular basement membrane, and the podocytes of the Bowman's capsule that wrap around the capillaries. These structures work together to selectively filter and prevent the passage of larger molecules like proteins into the urine while allowing smaller molecules to be filtered.
What is the cup-shaped part of the nephron?
The cup-shaped part of the nephron is called the renal (or Bowman's) capsule. It is located at the beginning of the nephron and surrounds the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. The renal capsule helps in the filtration of blood and the formation of urine.
What C-shaped structure in the nephron surrounds the glomerulus?
Bowman's Capsule
Which component of the nephron covers the glomerulus?
Bowman's capsule
What part of the nephron is involved in the glomerular filtration process of urine formation?
filtration takes place only at glomeruli part of nephron and nowhere else.
Which organ filters urea out of the blood?
The glomerulus, it is part of the nephron.
