Nephron - function and definition What is Nephron and function. Nephron-The microscopic functional unit of the kidney. Each kidney contains more than a million nephrons, each of which extends from the renal cortex into the renal medulla in fairly linear fashion.ifferent portions of the loop of Henle reabsorb sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, and water. The loop of Henle plays a significant role in the concentration and dilution of the URINE, and is the target of some types of diuretic medications.

nephron loop neph·ron loop. the U-shaped part of the nephron extending from the proximal to the distal tubules; it consists of a descending limb, a descending loop, and an ascending limb; located in the medulla renalis and medullary ray. Synonym(s): Henle ansa, Henle loop.

Human Physiology/Print Version The nephron (from Greek νεφρός - nephros, meaning kidney) is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine.ortical nephrons have their Loop of Henle in the renal medulla near its junction with the renal cortex, while the Loop of Henle of juxtamedullary nephrons is located deep in the renal medulla; they are called juxtamedullary because their renal corpuscle is located near the medulla (but still in the cortex).

Nephrostomy Nephrostomy or Percutaneous Nephrostomy is a procedure that involves inserting a tube (Nephrostomy tube) or a catheter through the skin inside the kidney to drain urine.Nephrostomy tube or catheter can be kept patent by inserting a stent inside it.Nephrostomy can be temporary or permanent. Nephrostomy is a kind of 'Interventional Radiology' procedure.ephrostomy tube or catheter can be kept patent by inserting a stent inside it. Nephrostomy can be temporary or permanent.

Human Physiology/Print Version (June 2011). The nephron (from Greek νεφρός - nephros, meaning kidney) is the basic structural and functional unit of the kidney. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine.he majority of nephrons are cortical. Cortical nephrons have a shorter loop of Henle compared to juxtamedullary nephrons. The longer loop of Henle in juxtamedullary nephrons create a hyperosmolar gradient that allows for the creation of concentrated urine.

Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine.he hypertonicity of the medulla (and therefore concentration of urine) is determined in part by the size of the loop of Henle. Unlike the descending limb, the thin ascending limb is impermeable to water, a critical feature of the countercurrent exchange mechanism employed by the loop.

Nephrostomy Tube Insertion A percutaneous (per-ku-TA-ne-us) nephrostomy (ne-FROS-to-me) tube is a catheter (plastic tube) that is inserted through your skin into your kidney. The nephrostomy tube is placed to drain urine from your body into a collecting bag outside your body.

Kidney Nephrology is the speciality that deals with kidney function and disease. Medical terms related to the kidneys commonly use terms such as renal and the prefix nephro-. The adjective renal, meaning related to the kidney, is from the Latin rēnēs, meaning kidneys; the prefix nephro-is from the Ancient Greek word for kidney, nephros (νεφρός).

Nephron - function and definition What is Nephron and function. Nephron-The microscopic functional unit of the kidney. Each kidney contains more than a million nephrons, each of which extends from the renal cortex into the renal medulla in fairly linear fashion.Two elements make up the nephron: the renal tubules and the renal corpuscle.ach segment of the tubule reabsorbs different substances from the filtrate as it passes through them. A second network of capillaries separate from the glomerulus, the peritubular capillaries, entwines the renal tubule to allow the reabsorbed materials to reenter the blood circulation.

Fistulagram A fistula is a passage from your kidney that allows kidney dialysis. A fistulagram is an X-ray procedure to look at the blood flow and check for blood clots or other blockages in your fistula. Blood clots or blockages may interfere with your dialysis. The fistulagram helps the doctor find any blockages.

Renal Angiogram An angiogram, also called an arteriogram, is an X-ray image of the blood vessels. It is performed to evaluate various vascular conditions, such as an aneurysm (ballooning of a blood vessel), stenosis (narrowing of a blood vessel), or blockages. A renal angiogram is an angiogram of the blood vessels of the kidneys. A renal angiogram may be used to assess the blood flow to the kidneys.

What Is a Nephron, and What Does It Do? What is a nephron, and what does it do? A: A nephron is the filtering unit of the human kidneys, and its job is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances by filtering the blood. The nephron reabsorbs what the body needs to function and then excretes the rest as urine. Continue Reading.

- A renal angiogram is an imaging test to look at the blood vessels in your kidneys. Your healthcare provider can use it to look at the ballooning of a blood vessel (aneurysm), narrowing of a blood vessel (stenosis), or blockages in a blood vessel. He or she can also see how well blood is flowing to your kidneys.

Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine.omposed of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule, the renal corpuscle (or Malpighian corpuscle) is the beginning of the nephron. It is the nephron's initial filtering component. The glomerulus is a capillary tuft that receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole of the renal circulation.

Angiography Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (April 2014). Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins, and the heart chambers.he film or image of the blood vessels is called an angiograph, or more commonly, an angiogram. Though the word itself can describe both an arteriogram and a venogram, in its everyday usage, the terms angiogram and arteriogram are often used synonymously, whereas the term venogram is used more precisely.

nephron (něf'rŏn) The functional unit of the kidney, in which waste products are filtered from the blood and urine is produced. The nephron consists of a system of tubules in close association with a network of blood vessels. As fluid that is filtered through the glomerulus of the nephron enters the tubules, its composition is gradually changed by the absorption and secretion of solutes, and it eventually leaves the nephron as urine.

- Physiology Image. Renal corpuscle. This image shows two adjacent renal corpuscles in a section of the rat kidney stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Only half of one of the corpuscles is shown (bottom, right).The renal corpuscle is the initial part of the nephron, where filtration of plasma takes place. The renal corpuscle is an ovoid structure with physical dimensions of approximately 150 μm to 250 μm.
