| Glucose normally is filtered by the glomerulus, but it is almost completely reabsorbed in the proximal tubule. |
|
| The nephrotic syndrome and proteinuria in the nephrotic range localize the pathologic process to the glomerulus. |
|
| Pressure of blood in the glomerulus causes fluid to filter into Bowman's capsule. |
|
| The glomerulus filters the blood and the waste products are removed. |
|
| The nephrotic and nephritic syndromes are clinical consequences of structural injury to the renal glomerulus, a vascular filter that clears the blood of waste products. |
|
| In each nephron, a network of tiny blood vessels called the glomerulus attaches to a small tubule. |
|
| Blood enters the glomerulus through the afferent arteriole and exits via the efferent arteriole. |
|
| Diseases of the glomerulus, or filter of the kidney, are one of the most important single causes of end-stage kidney failure, which affects over 4,000 Canadians each year. |
|
| Taken together, these results suggest that, at the levels of uranium intake observed in this study, the segment of the nephron most at risk to injury is the proximal tubule, rather than the glomerulus. |
|
| On average, about 1,500 axons from olfactory receptor neurons converge on each glomerulus in the cockroach, and about 5,000 axons converge on each glomerulus in the moth. |
|
| The axons of all the receptor cells that exhibit a response to a specific chemical or range of chemicals with similar structures converge on a single glomerulus, where they connect via synapses with the interneurons. |
|
| It is a paired organ consisting of a set of nephrons having capsules that filter blood from the glomerulus and tubules whose cells reabsorb water and nutrients and secrete nitrogenous wastes. |
|
| It is a paired organ consisting of a series of nephrons that filter urine from both the pericardial cavity fluids via openings called nephrostomes and the bloodstream from the glomerulus. |
