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.
The portion of the renal tubule that completely surrounds the glomerulus is the?
The portion of the renal tubule that completely surrounds the glomerulus is the Bowman's capsule. It plays a crucial role in the filtration of blood to form the primary filtrate in the kidney.
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.
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 is the difference between the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle?
The renal corpuscle is composed of the Bowman's capsule and the glomerulus, the site of filtration. The renal tubule is composed of the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of Henle, and the distal tubule. This is where reabsorption and secretion takes place as the filtrate is converted into urine.
What is the correct order an excreted water molecule moves from glomerulus to collecting duct?
It goes from the glomerulus to the bowman's capsule, to the proximal convoluted tubule, to the loop of henle, to the distal convoluted tubule, to the collecting duct.
What are the parts of a nephron in order?
The parts of a nephron in order are the renal corpuscle (glomerulus and Bowman's capsule), proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
What is the combination of glomerulus and renal tubule where urine is formed?
The combination of the glomerulus and renal tubule where urine is formed is known as the nephron. The glomerulus filters blood to produce filtrate, which then passes into the renal tubule, where reabsorption and secretion occur to form urine. The nephron's structure allows for the efficient regulation of water, electrolytes, and waste products, ultimately resulting in the production of concentrated urine.
What is the term for the entire functional structure unit of the kidney from glomerulus through collecting tubule?
Nephron
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.
What is the sequence of the nephron in order from glomerular?
From the glomerulus, the sequence of the nephron is proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
Which is correctGlomerular capsule or Bowman capsule proximal convoluted tubule PCT loop of the nephron OR loop of Henle AND distal convoluted tubule DCT AND collecting duct AND peritubular capillary?
The correct terms are "Bowman's capsule" and "proximal convoluted tubule (PCT)," followed by "loop of Henle," "distal convoluted tubule (DCT)," "collecting duct," and "peritubular capillary." Bowman's capsule is the initial part of the nephron that surrounds the glomerulus, and the PCT is the first segment of the nephron tubule. Each of these structures plays a crucial role in the filtration and reabsorption processes in the kidney.
