the source of the filtrate is Loop of Henle.

The Henle loop is surrounded by tissue fluid with a high ion concentration. Osmosis causes water to move out of the descending limb. As a result of the more concentrated filtrate, ions move out of the loop in the thin ascending limb.

The nephron consists of a single long tubule and a ball of capillaries called the glomerulus. Using hydrostatic pressure, plasma is forced through the walls of the glomerulus, becoming filtrate as it crosses, and then collecting within Bowman's capsule. The fluid that enters vertebrate nephrons is called the filtrate.

<h3>Which part of the nephron is called the loop of Henle?</h3>

A million nephrons are the filtering units of the human kidney, which is a complex and highly vascular organ. Each filters water and solutes from the blood that flows through it into the surrounding space and is the cavity between the cup's walls. The other part resembles a U-shaped loop that transports the filtered fluid deep into the medulla.

<h3>Functions of Nephron</h3>

The primary function of the Nephron is to flush out waste products from the blood, which include solid waste and other excesses. This blood is transformed into urine through secretion and excretion.

The nephron, a basic structural unit of the kidney, is a microscopic structure composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.

<span>Risks of emphysema, asthma and cancer are associated with the tars and hydrocarbons in inhaled smoke. The tar acts to coat the bronchial sacs, in effect causing the bronchial sacs to be damaged beyond repair and suffocating the smoker over time. The hydrocarbons contain cancer causing chemicals that enter the blood stream and are carried throughout the body.</span>

Anna35 [415]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Read each description below regarding the dual innervation of the ANS. Then click and drag each into the appropriate category base on whether it is an example of antagonic or cooperative innervation.

The sympathetic division stimulates mucus production by salivary glands while the parasympathetic division stimulates enzyme secretion.

The sympathetic division stimulates am increase in heart rate while the parasympathetic division stimulates a decrease in heart rate.

During sex, the parasympathetic division stimulates arousal while the sympathetic division stimulates orgasm.

The parasympathetic division constricts the pupils while the sympathetic division dilates the pupils.

Antagonistic:

Cooperative:

Answer: <u>Antagonistic:</u> The sympathetic division stimulates am increase in heart rate while the parasympathetic division stimulates a decrease in heart rate; The parasympathetic division constricts the pupils while the sympathetic division dilates the pupils.

<u>Cooperative:</u> The sympathetic division stimulates mucus production by salivary glands while the parasympathetic division stimulates enzyme secretion.; During sex, the parasympathetic division stimulates arousal while the sympathetic division stimulates orgasm.

Explanation: The peripheral nervous system is divided in <u>Somatic Nervous System (SNS)</u> and <u>Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)</u>. The first is responsible for sensory input and voluntary motion.

Autonomic Nervous System is divided into <u>Sympathetic and Parasympathetic divisions</u> and is controls the fight-or-flight and rest-and-digest situations. Usually, an organ with sympathetic and parasympathetic innervations have antagonic function, such as the heart rate - one system causes the heart rate to increase while the other stimulates the rate to decrease. However there are cases in which the combination of the 2 systems cause an increase of stimulation, producing similar effects.

Analysing each category above, it is deductable that when the sympathetic stimulates mucus production and parasympathetic, enzyme secretion and when the parasympathetic stimulates arousal and sympathetic, orgasm, in both cases, they have cooperative innervation.

On the other hand, when sympathetic stimulates increase in heart rate and parasympathetic, decrease in the rate, as stated before, and one stimulates constriction of the pupils and the other, dilation of the them, those are examples of having antagonic innervation.
