| These structures are not considered to be part of the nephron, but are part of the uriniferous tubule. |
|
| It performs all these tasks in different parts of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. |
|
| Normal urinary proteins include albumin, serum globulins, and proteins secreted by the nephron. |
|
| The functional unit in the kidney of all vertebrates is the uriniferous tubule comprising a nephron and a collecting tubule. |
|
| Cells of the nephron tubule may secrete nitrogenous wastes into the urine and reabsorb water and nutrients. |
|
| The filtrate, urine, leaves the nephron through a long tubule and collecting duct. |
|
| This saves resources, but means that each nephron has to work harder, which in turn means that they wear out and die faster. |
|
| Chronic renal failure is renal disease of a sustained nature that is not reversible and leads to destruction of nephron mass. |
|
| In each nephron, a network of tiny blood vessels called the glomerulus attaches to a small tubule. |
|
| The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney where urine is produced. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Each nephron is a tubular structure consisting of four regions. |
|
| At all dose levels most or all rats had renal lesions which were considered to be related to obstruction of the distal nephron by precipitated drug crystals. |
|
| With inhibition of sodium reabsorption, a higher concentration of this cation reaches the distal segment of the nephron and provides a more favorable milieu for the exchange process. |
|
| The structures of the nephron, cochlea and semicircular canals, and leaf stomata can all be modeled with long clown balloons. |
|
| They can by their effect on the nephron significantly alter electrolyte balance. |
|
| They may mediate the transfer of information during renal tubule hypertrophy after nephron loss. |
|
| Although the adults of simple vertebrates have the ability to regenerate entire nephrons by a process called nephron neogenesis, this capacity is absent in birds and mammals. |
