The renal tubule receives filtrate from the renal corpuscle, which includes water, ions, glucose, amino acids, and waste products like urea and creatinine. As the filtrate passes through the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct, various substances are reabsorbed or secreted, contributing to the final composition of urine. This process is crucial for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.
What else can I help you with?
Which structure is the first section of the nephron tubule into which the filtrate enters?
The first section of the nephron tubule into which the filtrate enters is the Bowman's capsule. It is a cup-shaped structure located in the renal cortex that surrounds the glomerulus and receives the initial filtrate from the blood.
What are the two main parts of a nephron?
The two main parts of a nephron are the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle. The renal tubule consists of the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule, responsible for filtering and processing the blood. The renal corpuscle contains the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, where blood is filtered to form urine.
What is the last portion of the renal tubule?
the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) tubule.
What fluid passes through the renal tubule?
A renal tubule passes most of the fluids it processes into the bloodstream
A nephon consists of a renal corpuscle and a what?
nephron consists of a cluster of blood capillaries called glomerulus and a renal tubule. now the renal tubule is swollen at one end and forms Bowman's capsule. the glomerulus surrounds this capsule and they together are called renal corpuscle. so the nephron consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. and the renal tubule is convoluted at first (also covered by blood capillaries) , then forms a U shape called "loop of henle" .then it ends into the collecting duct.
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
What are the components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by filtrate?
proximal continuous tubule loop of henle distal continuous tubule
The portion of the nephron closest to the renal corpuscle is the?
Proximal tubule
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
What is the path of urine through the body from its formation to its elimination from the?
Urine starts out as filtrate from the glomerular capsule in the kidney. It then enters the proximal convoluted tubule, then the loop of Henle, then the distal convoluted tubule. It then become urine as it enters the renal pelvis and then it travels down the ureters to the bladder until it is convenient to eliminate through the urethra.
What part of the renal tubule filters blood?
The renal glomeruli filters the blood in the kidneys
What is the u-shaped bend of the renal tubule called?
Renal Column Loop of henle.
