What else can I help you with?
What does the medullla in the kidney do?
the renal medulla contains capillaries and urine forming tubules
Do casts come from the tubules the calyces or the ureters?
Casts are formed in the distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the nephron in the kidney. They are made up of protein or cellular material that becomes trapped in the renal tubules and is then washed out into the urine, where they can be detected.
What tubular structures carry waste from the kidney?
The tubular structures that carry waste from the kidney are the renal tubules, specifically the collecting ducts. After filtration in the nephron, waste products and excess substances are reabsorbed and secreted through the renal tubules, eventually leading to the collecting ducts. From there, urine is transported to the renal pelvis and then to the ureter for excretion.
Distal convoluted tubules flow directly into what structures?
The structures that distal tubes flow into are the collecting ducts of the kidneys. The collecting ducts are small tubes through which urine flows into the renal pelvis.
Why we can't see the glumerular capsules convoluted tubules kidney loops or collecting ducts individually?
glomerular,capsules,Convoluted tubules ,kidney loops are the parts of Nephron... Nephron is the basic unit of a kidney.... group of nephrons constitute the kidney.. so you can't see all of them as individuals... I think you may have got your answer... Thanks.
Where do the collecting ducts of the renal tubules drain?
The collecting ducts of the renal tubules drain into the renal pelvis, which is the central part of the kidney. From the renal pelvis, urine flows into the ureter and is transported to the bladder for storage before eventual excretion. The collecting ducts play a crucial role in concentrating urine and regulating water balance in the body.
How many pyramids are found in the cats kidney?
Cats have two kidneys, and each kidney contains thousands of microscopic units called nephrons. These nephrons consist of a renal corpuscle, convoluted tubules, and a collecting duct, but they do not form pyramids. Pyramids are specific structures found in the medulla of the kidneys in animals like humans.
Where are the pyramid located in the kidney?
medulla
What is mesonephric kidney?
A metanephric kidney is the functional kidney of adult amniotes, that is, the reptiles, birds, and mammals. It occupies a more caudal position in the body cavity and is a much larger, more compact structure containing many tubules. It is drained by a ureter.
What tubules of the kidney?
Tubules are the tubes running through each little (microscopic) nephrons within each kidney that aid in filtering and collecting of the waste products, and then depending on how much water is in the body it either can reabsorb more water or more salt depending on your electrolyte balance. :-D
Which hormones is most likely to cause production of a concentrated urine?
Antidiuretic hormone(ADH) reabsorbs water from the collecting tubules of the kidney causing urine to become concentrated.
What is the region of the kidney deep to cortex contains collecting duct?
Renal cortex
