In the glomerulus, a tuft of capillaries in the renal cortex, blood is filtered through the porous capillary walls. This implies the correct answer is glomerulus

The glomerulus tuft carries out the first stage in blood filtration in the kidney.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The glomerulus is a network of capillaries (small vessels) that are surrounded by the glomerular capsule (also known as Bowman’s capsule) where urine is filtered. This network of small blood vessels is also known as tuff and is situated at the beginning of the nephron within the kidney. Structurally, the tuff is supported by mesangial cells and it is also made up of tubes with a central lumen.

The major responsibility of the glomerulus is to filter blood plasma and generate glomerular filtrate. The produced glomerular filtrate then moves down through the nephron (which is the functional part of the kidney) tubule to form urine.

However, the glomerulus gets its blood supply from the afferent arterioles, that is, the blood that is present in the glomerular capillaries is made possible by an afferent arteriole and not venule.  The afferent arterioles control the free flow of blood in the glomerulus.

Therefore, in the glomerulus a tuft of capillaries in the renal cortex, blood is filtered through the porous capillary walls.

In the glomerulus, a tuft of capillaries in the renal cortex, blood is filtered through the porous capillary walls.
<span><span>
The glomerulus receives its blood supply  (that need to be filtered) from an afferent arteriole of the renal arterial circulation and the glomerular capillaries exit into efferent arterioles. The glomerular filtration rate is a rate at which blood is filtered through all of the glomeruli.</span> </span>

Discuss how the nervous, circulatory, and respiratory systems interact with each other.
Liula [17]

Explanation:

The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs through the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart.

Variation in great horned owl body size due to food supply can / cannot be acted on by
disa [49]

Answer:

Variation can be acted on by natural selection.

Explanation:

Variation are the difference that exist in the organism in terms of the body size and can be acted upon by natural selection.

Natural selection could act on the owl body size, favor the selection of owl with small body size especially when resources available are limited and can only sustain small number of individuals leading to availability of owl with small body size in such area and a gradual reduction in the number of owl with large body size.
