Kidney Structure Is Responsible For Filtration. Urinary excretion rate filtration rate reabsorption rate secretion rate. The glomerulus is a network of capillaries surrounded by a cuplike structure the glomerular capsule or bowman s capsule.
How do you describe a nephron. In addition it contains almost all the glomeruli which we ll explain later. The kidney s ability to perform many of its functions depends on the three fundamental functions of filtration reabsorption and secretion whose sum is called renal clearance or renal excretion.
The right kidney is generally slightly smaller and lower than the left to make space for the liver.
The nephrons are found in the kidneys and are small tubules that are. The cluster of capillaries that in the kidney where filtration occurs is called the glomerulus.
