What else can I help you with?
Which structure is the first section of the nephron tubule into which the filtrate enters?
The first section of the nephron tubule into which the filtrate enters is the Bowman's capsule. It is a cup-shaped structure located in the renal cortex that surrounds the glomerulus and receives the initial filtrate from the blood.
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.
What region of the kidney you would find glomerular capsules?
The bowman's capsule collects the filtrate and it enters the tubules. All glucose is reabsorbed immediately into the blood capillaries. As the rest of the filtrate travels through the tubules water and salts needed by the body are reabsorbed into the blood capillaries.yo yo
What happens as wastes are filterd in a nephron?
first both wastes and needed materials,such as glucose,are filtered out of the blood.then,much of the needed material is returned to the blood,and the wastes are eliminated from the body
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.
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron wit the filtrate?
In most cases it is reabsorbed. It there is too much, it will be "spilled" into the urine.

Do glucose and water enter the filtrate?
Glucose enters the filtrate through the glomerular filtration process in the kidneys, but almost all of it gets reabsorbed by the renal tubules. Water freely enters the filtrate during the filtration process, but its reabsorption is tightly regulated by the kidneys based on the body's hydration needs.
The filtrate within the nephron becomes urine only when it passes through the distal convoluted tubules and enters the collecting ducts?
False

What is the nephron process?
The nephron process is where the blood enters the glomerulus and is absorbed. It is then processed through the kidney's and turned into urine.
Which section of the tubule is connected to the glomerulus?
The Bowman's capsule surrounds the glomerulus, and the glomerulus filtrate enters the top of the nephron.
As blood enters a nephron it flows through a network of capillaries known as a?
Glomerulus
Do nephrons form urine?
Blood is filtered through the bowmans capsule (large proteins are left in the bloodstream). The fluid that remains in the nephron after filtration is called the filtrate.The filtrate enters the proximal tubule. Glucose, amino acids, and water are secreted (released into bloodstream). The filtrate begins to darken with less water in it.The filtrate then moves on to the Loop of Henle. On descent, water leaves the filtrate by osmosis and on ascent; sodium and chloride leave the filtrate by active transport. This is necessary to produce concentrated urine. The loop of henle becomes less permeable as it goes ascends so less sodium and chloride leave the filtrate as the filtrate makes its way up the loop.The filtrate then moves on to the Distal Tubule where pH is regulated and sodium potassium, and calcium levels are controlled. The filtrate becomes more concentrated here.The filtrate then moves into the Collecting Duct. The collecting duct is what connects the nephrons to the ureter. It participates in electrolyte and fluid balance through reabsorption and excretion.(I did this for a Grade 12 Biology lab so this is just a collection of stuff I got off the internet from various good sources! anybody else who was just as confused as I was when I got this question!)
What molecule enters glycolysis?
Glucose is the molecule that enters glycolysis to be broken down into pyruvate.
Where does blood plasma enter the nephron and what ultimately does this plasma turn into?
Blood plasma enters the nephron through the glomerulus in the Bowman's capsule. This plasma is filtered through the nephron's tubules, where water and small molecules are selectively reabsorbed, while waste products and excess substances are excreted as urine.
