capillaries
Glomerulus
The glomerulus is a cluster of capillaries that can be found in the kidney. Each cluster is next to a Bowman's capsule, which is the "filter unit" of the nephron. Blood passes from the renal artery into the glomerulus at high pressure, allowing small substances to diffuse into the nephron, via the Bowman's capsule.
nephron
That's what I want to know.
The glomerulus of the nephron contains unfiltered blood, where blood is initially filtered to form the primary filtrate.
The renal cortex contains the largest number of nephron structures in the kidney.
filtration
Blood is filtered through the glomerulus of the nephron in the kidney. The glomerulus acts as a specialized cluster of blood capillaries that allows small molecules such as water, salts, and waste products to pass into the nephron for urine formation.
list the parts of the nephron and describe the function of each part
The nephron is located in the kidneys, which are part of the excretory system. Each kidney contains thousands of nephrons, which are responsible for filtering waste products and excess substances from the blood to form urine.
The glomerulous
Nephron units are located in the kidney cortex. They are the functional units responsible for filtering blood and regulating the electrolyte balance and fluid volume in the body. Each kidney contains thousands of nephron units.
