b) How does the above structure divide into?
c) State the parts of the structures that are present in the cortex and medulla.
d) Explain the various steps involved in the formation of urine.
Answers
Answer:
Nephron and helps in urine formation
Explanation:
a) Nephron, it is structural and functional unit of the kidney and plays important role in urine formation.
b) It is divided into renal corpuscle or Malpighian body (include glomerulus and Bowmans capsule ) and renal tubule ( Proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), Distal convoluted tubule (DCT), Loop of Henle).
c) Cortex (outer part) - PCT,DCT and Malpighian body
Medulla (Inner part) -Loop of Henle
d) Ultra filtration, Reabsorption and tubular secretion
Answer:
the name of structure of Nephron .
Nephron works through a two step process.the glomerulus filters your blood and the tubule returns needed substances to your blood and removes wastes each nephron has a glomerulus to filter your blood and a tubule that returns needed substances to your blood and pulls out additional wastes.
(B) it divides into three parts based on functions the first part is called the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) due to its proximity to the glomerulus .
the second part is called loop of Henle or nephritic loop because it forms a loop that goes through the renal medulla.
(C) Cortex ( outer part ) - PCT , DCT , and Malpighuan body
(D) Ultra filtration, Reabsorption and tubular secretion
