What is the last portion of the renal tubule?
the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) tubule.
A nephon consists of a renal corpuscle and a what?
A nephron consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle includes the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule for filtration, while the renal tubule processes fluid from the glomerular filtrate.
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
The portion of the nephron closest to the renal corpuscle is the?
proximal convoluted tubule.
What are the components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by filtrate?
proximal continuous tubule loop of henle distal continuous tubule
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
What is the last tubule in the nephron?
The last tubule in the nephron is the distal convoluted tubule. It is responsible for further reabsorption of water and electrolytes, as well as secretion of waste products.
What organelle is abundant in kidney tububle cells?
Mitochondria are abundant in kidney tubule cells due to their high energy demands for active transport and metabolic processes involved in regulating fluid and electrolyte balance. Mitochondria generate ATP through aerobic respiration to fuel these energy-demanding cellular functions in kidney tubule cells.
What structures drains into the collecting tubule?
which of the following structures drains into the collecting tubule
What is the section of the renal tubule closest to the glomerular capsule?
The proximal convoluted tubule is closest to the glomerular capsule. The distal convoluted tubule is farther away.
Enlarged portion of sarcoplasmic reticulum on either side of a transverse tubule?
The enlarged portion of sarcoplasmic reticulum on either side of a transverse tubule is called a terminal cisterna. These terminal cisternae play a vital role in the excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal muscle cells. They store and release calcium ions, which are essential for muscle contraction.
What organelle releases calcium ions when an electrochemical message moves down a T-tubule?
Terminal cisterns of the sarcoplasmic reticulum through the Rhynodine receptors release calcium into the skeletal muscle cell when stimulated by an action potential.
