What else can I help you with?
Which part produce urine?
The nephron is the part of the kidney that produces urine.
What is a vital substance that carries nutrients to the cells and waste to the kidneys?
water
What substance is filtrate in the loop of nephron?
The filtrate in the loop of nephron is primarily composed of water, electrolytes (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride), and waste products (such as urea and creatinine) filtered from the blood by the glomerulus in the kidney.
What hormones is also called the antidiuretic hormone?
It stimulates water reabsorption by the kidneys
Where is the nephron loop located?
Filtration, Reabsorption, and Secretion
Which substance is lost from the body by the kidneys lungs and skin?
Water is the substance lost from the body through the kidneys, lungs, and skin. The kidneys filter it from the blood to produce urine, the lungs release it through exhalation, and the skin eliminates it through sweat.
Where does most re-absorption of water occur in the digestive system?
large intestine.in the large intestine
What is the name of the cells in the nephron that respond to ADH and aldosterone?
The cells in the nephron that respond to ADH are called principal cells, while the cells that respond to aldosterone are called intercalated cells. These cells play a crucial role in regulating the reabsorption of water and electrolytes in the kidneys.
What tells the kidneys how much water to absorb?
Antidiuretic hormone ADH
How do kidneys conserve water?
Kidneys conserve water primarily through the process of concentrating urine. This is achieved in the nephron, particularly in the loop of Henle and the collecting duct, where water is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream in response to the hormone vasopressin (also known as antidiuretic hormone, ADH). When the body is dehydrated, higher levels of ADH are released, promoting greater water reabsorption and producing more concentrated urine. Additionally, the kidneys adjust the reabsorption of sodium, which also influences water retention.
What is tubular filtration?
Tubular filtration is the process in the kidneys where blood is filtered through the glomerulus of the nephron to form filtrate. This filtrate contains water, ions, and small molecules that will eventually be reabsorbed or excreted as urine.
What is the function of the nephrons in pig kidneys?
Nephrons have the same function in all kidneys. They allow the excretion of water, sodium and urea to form urine. They serve the function of removing waste chemicals such as metabolites and drugs from the body. Excretion of sodium and water is also important in the nephron as it allows the kidney to control blood pressure and blood volume.
