What else can I help you with?
The portion of the nephron closest to the renal corpuscle is the?
Proximal tubule
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.
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.
Which portion of the renal tubule reabsorbs electrolytes plasma proteins nutrients vitamins and water?
The proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs electrolytes, plasma, proteins, nutrients, vitamins, and water.
What fluid passes through the renal tubule?
A renal tubule passes most of the fluids it processes into the bloodstream
What portion of the kidney produces urine?
The renal medulla contains collecting ducts.
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
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 u-shaped bend of the renal tubule called?
Renal Column Loop of henle.
What part of the renal tubule filters blood?
The renal glomeruli filters the blood in the kidneys
