The capillary specialized for reabsorption in the kidney is the peritubular capillary. These capillaries surround the nephron's tubular structures, allowing for the efficient reabsorption of water, electrolytes, and nutrients back into the bloodstream after filtration occurs in the glomerulus. The close proximity of peritubular capillaries to the renal tubules facilitates this process, ensuring that essential substances are retained while waste products are excreted.
What else can I help you with?
What is capillary reabsorption?
fluid entering the capillary
What does peritubular capillaries do?
This capillary network surrounds the tubules and plays an important role in secretion and reabsorption, plus it delivers oxygen to kidney cells.
What structure is important for the reabsorption of water?
The loop of Henle in the nephron is important for the reabsorption of water in the kidney. It creates a concentration gradient in the kidney medulla, allowing for the reabsorption of water back into the bloodstream.
Which forces act to move fluid back into the capillary reabsorption?
Osmotic pressure is what draws fluid back into the capillary from the tissues.
Why is the reabsorption of certain materials in the kidney is important to your health?
why reabsorption of certain materials in the kidneys is important for the health
The most important force driving reabsorption at the venous end of a capillary is?
Blood colloid osmotic pressure
The hormone that influences sodium reabsorption in the kidney is?
aldosterone
What are the three regulators of kidney function?
filtration, reabsorption and secretion
Trace the path of a red blood cell in a circuit that takes it from the capillary bed of the right kidney to the capillary bed of the left kidney Consider that you are doing this for an animal with a?
capillary bed of the right kidney---venules---veins---right atrium---right ventircle---pulmonary arteries---capillary of the lungs---pulmonary veins---left atrium---left ventricle---aorta---arteries---arterioles---capillary bed of the left kidney (ALMOST positive about the answer, I just had a test on it. Hope it helps!)
When water moves from a nephron in the kidney back to the blood it is called?
Reabsorption
In which two body organs does reabsorption of water take place?
Kidney and Colon
What is the material that remains after reabsorption?
The material that remains after reabsorption in the kidney is urine, which contains waste products, excess ions, and water that were not reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.
