The vasa recta. It is the main capillary that collects the filtered blood from the afferent tubule.

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 C-shaped structure in the nephron surrounds the glomerulus?

Bowman's Capsule


What is the Correct order of filtrate flow through the nephron?

Nephron is the functional unit of the kidney. Located in pyramids of medulla (triangular sections of the kidney). Nephron contains renal corpuscles (Glomerular capusule aka: Bowmans Capsule) which contain renal tubules (Glomerulus-filtrates blood as is flows through kidney, afferent/efferent). Waste by way of loop of Henle (exits capsule), go to collecting ducts. Kidney-renal corpuscles-afferent arteriole-bowmans capsule-glomerulus-efferent arteriole-proximal convoluted tubule-descending loop of henle-thin segment-acscending loop of henle-distal convoluted tubule-collecting ducts-major calyces-renal pelvis-uretER-urinary bladder-urethra (female 4cm long- con't from urethra-out) (male 20cm long-urethra made up of three parts-con't from urethra-prostatic urethra-membranous urethra-penile urethra-out) I believe that is correct. What confused me is the afferent/efferent/tubules. They are three separate passage ways. Aff/Eff is for blood. Afferent is where blood enters-waste goes to capsule-waste leaves capsule by 1st entering proximal tubule of loop of henle-blood that was "not" waste goes back to the body by way of efferent. Notice the difference in female and male.


What is the order of flow through the urinary system starting with filtration?

Filtration into the bowmans capsule, through the proximal convolutes tubule, through the loop of henle, through the distal convoluted tubule, into the collecting duct, into the ureter which carries it to the urinary bladder. From the bladder is exits the body through the urethra.


A cup-like structure that encases the glomerulus is?

bowmans capsule


Why does the concentration of sodium ions remains unchanged after leaving the bowmans capsule?

The concentration of sodium ions remains unchanged after leaving the Bowman's capsule because they are actively reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. This reabsorption process helps maintain the body's electrolyte balance and blood pressure regulation by ensuring that essential ions like sodium are not lost in the urine.


In the nephron where does glomerular filtration take place?

Glomerulus (Renal Corpuscle)

Why does a rattlesnake bite cause blood to appear in the urine?

Rattlesnake venom breaks down the walls of glomerulus. The glomerulus is part of the nephron which is located in tour kidneys. The glomerulus filters your blood and the un needed material gets sent to the bowmans capsule in the nephron. The the gunk from the bowmans capsule makes its way into the urine. So when a rattlesnake bites you the blood goes right into you bowmans capsule making its way into the urine.


Nephron tube where nutrients are reabsorbed?

The Nephron is the functional unit of the Kidney which regulates blood contents NOT urine contents. It works by filtering out much of the contents of the blood from the Glomerulus into Bowmans Capsule. From here the a long tubule projects and is followed by a blood vessel (the Efferent Capillary) which reabsorbs much of the nutriens, what isn't reabsorbed goes into the Urine via a Collecting Duct. There are three parts to the nephron, the Proximal Convoluted Tubule, the Loop of Henle and the Distal Convoluted Tubule. The loop of Henle is mostly involved in the reabsorbtion of water with the use of salts. The majority of nutrients reabsorbtion takes place is the proximal convoluted tubule. It should be noted that although the nephron is very efficient (it reabsorbs 90% of the water if need be) it also reabsorbs about 50% of the urea so it is incorrect to think that it all goes straight into the urine. In short, to answer you question, most nutrients are reabsorbed in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule.
