What part of the vertebrate nephron actually consists of capillaries?
glomerulus
What is the vascular part of the nephron of the kedney called?
The vascular part of the nephron in the kidney is called the renal corpuscle. It consists of the glomerulus, a network of capillaries, and Bowman's capsule, a structure that surrounds the glomerulus. This is where the process of blood filtration in the kidney begins.
Which part of nephron is a network of capillaries whose job is to reclaim useful materials from the filtrate?
peritubular capillaries
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 is the name of the cluster of capillaries in the kidney where filtration occurs?
The cluster of capillaries in the kidney where filtration occurs is called the glomerulus. The glomerulus is part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood to form urine.
Does urea and glucose stay in the capillaries while blood cells and protein molecules move into the capsule of a nephron?
Yes, urea and glucose remain in the capillaries, while blood cells and protein molecules are filtered out and move into the capsule of a nephron during the process of renal filtration. This filtration is part of the first step in the formation of urine in the kidneys.
Is the urethra part of a nephron?
Urethra is not a part of nephron. You have about one million nephrons in each kidney and you have only one urethra.
What are the parts of a nephron and functions?
list the parts of the nephron and describe the function of each part
How do you write a sentence with the word nephron?
He was admitted to the hospital because of problem in nephron. It is an example sentence using the word nephron.
Are capillaries part of the respiratory system?
No. The capillaries are part of the circulatory system.
What are the anatomical structures of a nephron?
Blood is filtered out of the glomerulus, a "knot" of porous capillaries, into the glomerular capsule. From there the filtrate passes though the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal convoluted tubule where the substrate concentration of the filtrate is fine tuned. The distal convoluted tubule empties into a collecting duct but that is generally not considered part of the nephron itself.
What is the pink part of the kidney called?
Nephron
