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
What else can I help you with?
Explain Why fluid flows from the capillaries of the kidneys into the kidney tubules?
because the fluid pressure in the capillaries is higher than that of kidney tubules
What is the degeneration of kidney tubules called?
Nephrosis
What tubules make up the kidney?
Nephrons
Where are all the proximal and distal convoluted tubules of the kidney located?
If you are talking about the proximal/distal convoluted tubules. Then you are talking about a kidney, and in between them is the nephron loop or the Loop of Henle
What structure of kidney contains the collecting tubules?
medulla
What is the medical term meaning degeneration of the kidney tubules?
Nephrosis
What is tubular kidney disease?
Tubular kidney disease-- Disease of the kidney that affect the tubules, the part of the kidney that allows certain substances to be reabsorbed back into the blood
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.
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.
What carries urine through the medulla of the kidney?
Urine is carried through the medulla of the kidney by structures called the renal tubules. These tubules are responsible for reabsorbing essential substances from the filtrate and concentrating urine before it is excreted from the body.
Is simple cuboidal found lining kidney tubules?
Yes, simple cuboidal epithelium is found lining the kidney tubules. These cells provide absorption and secretion functions in the kidneys, helping with the filtration and reabsorption of substances in the urine.
