The Filtrate Formed in the Glomerular Capsule Moves into the Proximal

question 28

True/False

The filtrate formed in the glomerular capsule moves into the proximal convoluted tubule and then the nephron loop. It then travels through the distal convoluted tubule to the collecting tubules, which empty into the calyces and finally the renal pelvis. From there, urine goes through the ureters to urinary bladder and eventually out the urethra.

pH

A numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution, with values ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic).

Buffers

Solutions or substances that minimize changes in pH when acids or bases are added to them, maintaining stability in biological and chemical systems.

Neutralization Reaction

A chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react to form water and a salt, achieving a balanced pH.
