The macula densa in the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron monitors the salt (sodium and chloride) levels in the filtrate. It plays a role in regulating the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular cells in response to changes in salt concentration, helping to maintain blood pressure and fluid balance in the body.
What else can I help you with?
Which of the choices below is the salt level monitoring part of the nephron?
macula densa
Which of the choices below is the salt level-monitoring part of the nephron?
The macula densa cells in the distal convoluted tubule are the salt level-monitoring part of the nephron. They detect changes in sodium chloride content of the filtrate passing through the tubule and help regulate the release of renin from the juxtaglomerular cells.
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.
What is the cup-shaped part of the nephron?
The cup-shaped part of the nephron is called the renal (or Bowman's) capsule. It is located at the beginning of the nephron and surrounds the glomerulus, which is a network of capillaries. The renal capsule helps in the filtration of blood and the formation of urine.
Which part of the nephron contains lowest concentration of urea?
filtration

Is the urethra part of a nephron?
Urethra is not a part of nephron. You have about one million nephrons in each kidney and you have only one urethra.

What part of the nephron is involved in the glomerular filtration process of urine formation?
filtration takes place only at glomeruli part of nephron and nowhere else.
What is part of the nephron where substaces are filtered from glomerulus?
The Bowman's capsule is the part of the nephron that filters substances from the glomerulus. It surrounds the glomerulus and is responsible for collecting the filtrate that is produced.
Which part of the urinary system does the filtering of the blood?
nephron
