The vertebrate kidney is composed of cells or nephrons that function in osmoregulation and the excretion of wastes. There are millions of nephrons, each of which consists of a glomerulus and a system of small tubes. Water and small solutes are filtered from the blood and into the proto-...
Describe the process of filtration of urine and how it is eliminated by the body? Fill in the blank. Urine is transported from kidneys to the urinary bladder by way of two ___. What part of the urinary system conveys urine to the outside of the body? How does the stretch of a f...
Which of the following structures take part in the constitution of the temporomandibular joint (颞下颌关节)? () A. head of mandible (下颌头) B. mandibular fossa (下颌窝) of the temporal bone C. mastoid process (乳突) D. articular tubercle (关节结节) of the temporal bone E....
The swelling is usually caused due to a buildup of a substance called IgA in the kidneys. This hampers the filtration process of the kidneys. IgA is a type of antibody (protein) manufactured by the immune system. When the body is unable to filter the urine, it can't excrete body wastes...

What Is Glomerular Filtration Rate? The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a measure of how well your kidneys are removing waste from your blood, which can be determined using an estimated GFR (eGFR) test. The test gets its name from glomeruli -- the parts of your kidney that filter out...
<p>To determine the percentage of filtrate reabsorbed by the renal tubule, we can follow these steps:</p><p>1. <strong>Understanding the Renal Tubule</strong>: - The renal tubule is a part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. I
Coupled plasma filtration-adsorption cleans toxins from blood by separating plasma from whole blood through a plasma filter and circulating it in a sorbent cartridge. Sorbents are insoluble materials used to recover liquids through the means of adsorption. The plasma is then returned to the blood ...
1. Understanding Bowman's Capsule: Bowman's capsule is a part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. It plays a crucial role in the filtration of blood. 2. Filtration Process: In the Bowman's capsule, blood filtration occurs. Blood enters the nephron through the affe...
