Question

Glomerular filtrate from glomerulus is carried to which part of the nephron?

Answer 1

Nephron:

• The nephron is the basic unit of the kidney.
• Nephron does ultrafiltration.
• Nephron allows excretion of the maximum toxin through urine.

Glomerulus:

• The glomerulus is referred to as the filtering unit of the kidney.
• The glomerulus has a specialized bundle of capillaries.
• The role of the glomerulus is to filter blood.
• From the nephron, blood enters the glomerulus(a tiny cluster of blood vessels).

The glomerular filtrate from the glomerulus is carried to:

• A nephron is coined as the functional unit of the kidney.
• The glomerular filtrate from the glomerulus is carried to the proximal convoluted tubule part of the renal tubule.
• The proximal convoluted tubule is in the renal cortex of the medulla.
• It is responsible for both re-absorption and secretion.
• The other parts of the renal tubule include a loop of henle, a distal convoluted tubule, and a collecting duct.
