Ureter
THE PROCESS BY WHICH MOLECULES MOVE FROM PERITUBULAR CAPILLARIES INTO THE NEPHRON TUBULE IS CALLED _____?
SECRETION
Kidneys produce_________ TO INCREASE CALCIUM ABSORPTION FROM THE SMALL INTESTINES
CALCITRIOL

ASCENDING LOOP
DCT
COLLECTING DUCT

Right ; Left
These blood vessels supply each nephron
Afferant arteriole
THESE BLOOD VESSELS ARE A CONTINUATION OF EFFERENT ARTERIOLES THAT RECEIVE MOLECULES REABSORBED FROM THE NEPHRON.
-PERITUBULAR CAPILLARIES
THIS PORTION OF THE NEPHRON SURROUNDS THE GLOMERULUS TO RECEIVE MOLECULES THAT ARE FILTERED FROM BLOOD.
