What changes take place as blood enters the kidney tubules?
Answers
Explanation:
The fluid that is filtered out from the blood then travels down a tiny tube-like structure called a tubule (pronounced: TOO-byool). The tubule adjusts the level of salts, water, and wastes that will leave the body in the urine. Filtered blood leaves the kidney through the renal vein and flows back to the heart.
Changes take place when blood enters the kidney tubule:
- First of all we have to study the structure of kidney tubule, where the blood enters and changes take place
- The kidney tubule is called uriniferous tubule or nephron
- Some of the main parts of this nephron are... a highly coiled tubular network called glomerulus and it continues with a long U -shaped tube called loop of henle, PCT and DCT.
-As the blood comes in kidney it will undergo in two procedures...1) Ultrafiltration and 2) Selective reabsorption
- Blood contains urea as the main excretory substance which is filtered out into the further tubes of nephron
- In the two tubules of Henle's loop, proximal convoluted tubule and distal convoluted tubule..the process of reabsorption takes place
- The excessive water, minerals are reabsorbed into the blood capillaries resulting in the formation of concentrated urine
- So, as the blood enters in the kidney tubule , it will convert into the urine through a complex procedure.
