What is the highly coiled structure that is close to the nephron?
The highly coiled structure close to the nephron is the renal tubule. This tubule is responsible for reabsorbing water and essential nutrients from the filtrate, as well as secreting waste products into the urine.
What are the two main parts of a nephron?
The two main parts of a nephron are the renal tubule and the renal corpuscle. The renal tubule consists of the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule, responsible for filtering and processing the blood. The renal corpuscle contains the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, where blood is filtered to form urine.
What is the last portion of the renal tubule?
the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) tubule.
What fluid passes through the renal tubule?
A renal tubule passes most of the fluids it processes into the bloodstream
A nephon consists of a renal corpuscle and a what?
nephron consists of a cluster of blood capillaries called glomerulus and a renal tubule. now the renal tubule is swollen at one end and forms Bowman's capsule. the glomerulus surrounds this capsule and they together are called renal corpuscle. so the nephron consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. and the renal tubule is convoluted at first (also covered by blood capillaries) , then forms a U shape called "loop of henle" .then it ends into the collecting duct.
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
What are the components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by filtrate?
proximal continuous tubule loop of henle distal continuous tubule
The portion of the nephron closest to the renal corpuscle is the?
Proximal tubule
What are the the triangular-shaped areas of the renal medulla are the?
They are located in the renal medulla and are made of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
What part of the renal tubule filters blood?
The renal glomeruli filters the blood in the kidneys
What is the u-shaped bend of the renal tubule called?
Renal Column Loop of henle.
What is another name for a kidney tubule?
Nephron
