What else can I help you with?
Does blood enter the nephron first or second?
Blood enters the nephron first. It enters through the afferent arteriole into the glomerulus, where filtration takes place to form the initial filtrate.
The factor favoring filtrate formation at the glomerulus is?
The high pressure in the glomerulus due to the afferent arteriole being larger than the efferent arteriole favors filtrate formation by pushing fluid and solutes out of the blood into the glomerular capsule. Additionally, the high permeability of the glomerular capillaries allows for easy passage of water and small solutes, promoting the formation of filtrate.
What structure in the kidney does the filtration of blood occur?
The filtration of blood in the kidney occurs in the glomerulus, a network of tiny blood vessels located within the nephron. Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole, where high pressure forces water, electrolytes, and small molecules through the glomerular filtration membrane into the Bowman's capsule, forming the initial filtrate. This process is crucial for regulating blood composition and removing waste products.
What happened when you added the detergent to the filtrate?
When detergent is added to the filtrate, it disrupts the lipid membrane of the particles, leading to the release of entrapped material and allowing for better separation during the filtration process. This helps in improving the efficiency of filtration by reducing clogging and increasing the clarity of the filtrate.
What is a filtrate in filtration?
A filtrate is the liquid that has passed through a filter.
What is the Liquid after filtration?
It is called the filtrate.
What makes up the renal portal system?
It is made up of the afferent arteriole which supplies blood to the kidneys. The glomerulus, which is the first capillary bed produces filtrate. The efferent arteriole takes blood from the kidneys. The peritubular capillary system, which is the second capillary bed reclaims most of the filtrate. Filtrate is what eventually becomes urine.
How Collect the filtrate?
Filtrate is collected in a recipient placed under the funnel or filtration apparatus.
What is the verb form of filtration?
Filtrated or filtrate
What is ultimately responsible for glomerular filtration?
Net filtration pressure responsible for forming renal filtrate.
What is the resulting substance after filtration?
After filtration, the resulting substance is the filtrate, which is the liquid or solution that has passed through the filter, leaving behind any solid particles or impurities. The filtrate is usually collected in a separate container from the residue that is left on the filter.
What are three organs of excretion?
The three organs of excretion are: 1) Kidney- the kidney goes through 3 stages. Filtration occurs in the glomerulus where the blood enters the afferent arteriole and is filtered and filtrate passes through the glomerulus membrane and diffuses into the tubules but the blood exits through the efferent arteriole. Reabsorption is the 2nd step. This is when glucose, amino acids and water is reabsorbed back into the blood. Step 3 is secretion. The remaining filtrate in the tubules exit through the collecting duct to the renal pelvis to the ureter to bladder. 2) Bladder- the bladder is a muscle so it can stretch to hold about a pint of urine. When it time to urinate the bladder contracts and the urine is sent to the internal sphincter and then the external sphincter. 3) Skin- every time you sweat you are excreting waste
