Where filtration of blood takes place?
kidneys
After the process of re-absorption takes place the left over liquid is called?
The leftover liquid after reabsorption is called urine. It contains waste products and excess water that were not reabsorbed by the kidneys during the filtration process.
What happens after blood enters the glomerulus in the kidney?
The glomerulus is the cluster of capillaries that branch off the renal artery in the kidneys. It is here that filtrationtakes place - small molecules such as glucose, water, ions and amino acids diffuse through the narrow capillary walls and into the nephron.
Which part of the kidney filters blood?
The nephrons, specifically the glomerulus, are responsible for filtering blood in the kidney. Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole and leaves through the efferent arteriole after filtration occurs.
The specific filtration structure of the urinary system?
The main filtration structure of the urinary system is the nephron, which is found in the kidneys. Each nephron consists of a renal corpuscle (glomerulus and Bowman's capsule) where blood is filtered, and a renal tubule where reabsorption and secretion of substances takes place. The nephrons work together to filter waste products from the blood and regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the body.

Where the exchange of nutrients in the blood and wastes from the cells take place?
Kidneys
What is plasma filtration?
Plasma filtration refers to the process of purifying blood using a new technology. This is the adsorption dialysis which takes place in the kidneys.
Where does glomerular filtration occur?
Glomerular filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle within the kidney, specifically in the glomerulus. The glomerulus is a network of capillaries where blood is filtered to form urine through the filtration barrier.
Where does filtration occur in the human body?
The liver breaks down harmful substances as well as non-harmful products such as the deamination of proteins, but the metabolites are put back into the blood circulation. The kidneys then filter these metabolites and other substances out of the blood, returning "cleaned" blood back to the body and harmful substances excreted in water and ultimately urine.
What process takes place between the moment blood enters the kidneys to the moment urine leaves the body?
Filtration of the uric volume.
The filtration membrane of the kidneys include all the following except aglomerular endothelium b podocytes c renal fascia d basement membrane?
Renal fascia is not part of the filtration membrane of the kidneys. The filtration membrane consists of the glomerular endothelium, podocytes, and the basement membrane, which together form the barrier that filters blood to form urine in the kidneys. Renal fascia is a layer of connective tissue that surrounds the kidney and helps support it in place.
Is water in your kidneys dangerous?
Water in the kidneys is not dangerous, as it is a natural component of the body's filtration system. However, excessive water retention in the kidneys can be a sign of underlying health issues like kidney disease or dehydration, which should be addressed by a healthcare professional.
When are your kidneys in use?
The kidneys are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located near the middle of the back, just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. The kidneys are sophisticated reprocessing machines. Every day, a person's kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to sift out about 2 quarts of waste products and extra water. The wastes and extra water become urine, which flows to the bladder through tubes called ureters. The bladder stores urine until releasing it through urination. The kidneys remove wastes and water from the blood to form urine. Urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through the ureters. Wastes in the blood come from the normal breakdown of active tissues, such as muscles, and from food. The body uses food for energy and self-repairs. After the body has taken what it needs from food, wastes are sent to the blood. If the kidneys did not remove them, these wastes would build up in the blood and damage the body. The actual removal of wastes occurs in tiny units inside the kidneys called nephrons. Each kidney has about a million nephrons. In the nephron, a glomerulus-which is a tiny blood vessel, or capillary-intertwines with a tiny urine-collecting tube called a tubule. The glomerulus acts as a filtering unit, or sieve, and keeps normal proteins and cells in the bloodstream, allowing extra fluid and wastes to pass through. A complicated chemical exchange takes place, as waste materials and water leave the blood and enter the urinary system. In the nephron (left), tiny blood vessels intertwine with urine-collecting tubes. Each kidney contains about 1 million nephrons. At first, the tubules receive a combination of waste materials and chemicals the body can still use. The kidneys measure out chemicals like sodium, phosphorus, and potassium and release them back to the blood to return to the body. In this way, the kidneys regulate the body's level of these substances. The right balance is necessary for life. In addition to removing wastes, the kidneys release three important hormones: * erythropoietin, or EPO, which stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells * renin, which regulates blood pressure * calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, which helps maintain calcium for bones and for normal chemical balance in the body
