What else can I help you with?
When fluid is filtered out of the glomerulus what part of the nephron does it enterfirst?
Bowman's capsule
What can be flitered in the glomerulus?
Blood is filtered there.
How much fluid filters through the glomerulus in a day?
About 180 L of fluid is filtered out but 178-179 get reabsorbed in the tubules so 1-2 L gets excreted as urine on a daily basis.
Where is the site of the filtrate formation?
Glomerulus is the filter that makes the filtrate.
What returns filtered blood to the bloodstream after passing through the glomerulus?
The renal vein returns filtered blood to the bloodstream after passing through the glomerulus in the kidneys.
Blood is filtered through---------the of the nephron?
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.
Where would you find the glomerulus?
The glomerulus is found in the kidneys. It is a cluster of tiny blood vessels where blood is filtered to form urine.
What substances are filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus?
Water, electrolytes (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride), glucose, and waste products (such as urea, creatinine, and uric acid) are filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus.
In which layer of the kidney is blood filtered?
Blood is filtered in the glomerulus, which is part of the renal corpuscle located in the renal cortex of the kidney. The glomerulus is a cluster of tiny blood vessels where waste products and excess substances are filtered out of the blood to form urine.
Which section of the tubule is connected to the glomerulus?
The Bowman's capsule surrounds the glomerulus, and the glomerulus filtrate enters the top of the nephron.
Filtration occurs at the -------- part of the nephron?
Filtration occurs at the glomerulus, which is the initial part of the nephron where blood is filtered to form the filtrate that will eventually become urine.
What is the arteriole that contains cleaner blood because it has been filtered by the glomerulus?
The efferent arteriole contains cleaner blood after filtration by the glomerulus because some waste products and excess substances have been removed during the process of blood filtration in the kidneys. This filtered blood then continues on to be circulated throughout the body.
