If the specific gravity of urine is 1. 020 in the sample of urine, what caused the filtrate to increase its s. g. between bowman’s capsule and the collecting duct of the nephron?

Respuesta :

Because more water than solutes are reabsorbed between Bowman's capsule and the collecting duct, specific gravity rises.

What is bowman's capsule?

  • The Bowman's capsule, a component of the nephron, creates a sack that resembles a cup and surrounds the glomerulus.
  • The "Bowman's space," which is adjacent to the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron and signifies the beginning of the urinary space, is enclosed by Bowman's capsule.
  • The glomerulus is protected by a two-walled pouch called Bowman's capsule.
  • Bowman's space is the term for the area between the capsule's walls.
  • The glomerular capsule, the Malpighian capsule, and the renal corpuscular capsule are among additional names for Bowman's capsule.
  • The Bowman's capsule is a portion of the human kidney's nephron.
  • By permitting water molecules and tiny molecules of other substances to flow through its selectively permeable membrane, Bowman's capsule performs the ultra-filtration process.
  • Thus, glomerular filtrate is formed.
