What else can I help you with?
The---- is the terminal part of the nephron?
The collecting duct is the terminal part of the nephron in the kidney where urine is concentrated and regulated before being excreted from the body.
The portion of the nephron that attaches to the collecting duct is the?
The portion of the nephron that attaches to the collecting duct is the distal convoluted tubule. It is responsible for fine-tuning the reabsorption of water and electrolytes before the filtrate eventually exits the nephron.
What is the portion of the nephron that dips into the medulla?
The portion of the nephron that dips into the medulla of the kidney is called the loop of Henle. This structure plays a key role in concentrating urine by creating a concentration gradient in the kidney.
What is the nephron also known as?
The nephron is also known as the functional unit of the kidney.
What is the terminal part of the nephron?
Papillary duct or DCT The thing in this question that stands out to me is "part of the nephron". Actually the parts of a nephron only include renal corpuscle, proximal convoluted tuble, nephron loop, and distal convoluted tubule. I would a say the answer, if you read it the way I am taking it, is DCT. The papillary duct does follow the DCT but is not part of the nephron.
Is a nephron a molecule?
A Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It's not a molecule, more likely a small portion of the kidney that helps the kidney work.
What is the portion of the nephron that empties into the collecting duct?
The distal convoluted tubule is the portion of the nephron that empties into the collecting ducts. It is the last segment of the nephron.
What is the functional portion or parenchyma of the kidney?
That would be the nephron.
What is the microscopic anatomical unit of excretion found in the kidney?
Nephron
The---- is the terminal part of the nephron?
The collecting duct is the terminal part of the nephron in the kidney where urine is concentrated and regulated before being excreted from the body.
What portion of the nephron extends into the medulla?
loop of henle
The portion of the nephron that empties into a calyx is the?
The collecting tubule
The portion of the nephron that attaches to the collecting duct is the?
The portion of the nephron that attaches to the collecting duct is the distal convoluted tubule. It is responsible for fine-tuning the reabsorption of water and electrolytes before the filtrate eventually exits the nephron.
What is the smallest unit of kidney?
Nephron
Which is the functional unit of a kidney?
nephron.
What is smallest unit of kidney?
Nephron
What is the structural unit of the kidney?
Nephron is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephron It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. It is the nephron's initial filtering component. The components of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule.
