Small organs that remove waste from the blood as it travels through kidneys?
The functional unit of the kidney is the glomerulus within the Bowman's capsule.
What feeds the glomerulus and what drains the glomerulus?
Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole and drains through the efferent arteriole.
Were does filtration of wastes takes place inside the kidneys in the?
The filtration of wastes takes place in the functional units of the kidney called nephrons. Specifically, it occurs in the glomerulus, which is a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries. Blood is filtered through the glomerulus, allowing waste products and excess water to be removed and eventually excreted as urine.
Blood is filtered through---------the of the nephron?
The glomerulus.
Filtrate is formed within the glomerulus by the process of?
The filtrate is formed as a liquid which is forced to pass through the walls of glomerulus. This is formed after the process of filtration.
What can not pass through the glomerulus?
Renal calculi, better known as kidney stones cannot pass through.
What returns filtered blood to the bloodstream after passing through the glomerulus?
the renal tubule?
Process whereby some substances pass through the walls of a glomerulus?
Filtration
As blood enters a nephron it flows through a network of capillaries known as a?
Glomerulus
What structure conveys urine to the renal pelvis?
bowman's capsule. The collecting duct found in Bowman's Capsule passes the urine to the renal pelvis, which is drained by the ureter
What is the bowman's capsule function?
It carries water and minerals which are filtered out from the blood through glomerulus.
The process of plasmalike fluid passing through the glomerulus to Bowman's capsule is called?
filtration
