Question

Which regions of the nephron function independently of hormonal control for the most part?

Answer 1

Renal corpuscle, proximal tubule, and loop of Henle are the regions of the nephron which function independently from harmone.

Step-by-step explanation:

These three parts of the nephron work without the intervention of harmones. Renal corpuscle is an important part of nephron which is responsible for the removal of waste material from the blood by filtration. Proximal tubule helps in the regulation of pH of the blood and also releases organic acids into the filtrate while loop of Henle reabsorp water and salts such as sodium chloride from the urine and added to the blood.

Answer 2

Renal corpuscle, proximal tubule, and loop of henle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Renal corpuscle is blood filtering part of the nephron which consist of Bowman's capsule and glomerulus. It works independently of hormonal control and filter the blood circulate through this glomerulus.

Proximal tubule is the component of nephron which starts from the renal pole of Bowman's capsule to the loop of henle and it involves in the selective reabsorption of glucose, peptides, water and other nutrients from tubule to the blood. It works independently of hormonal control.

Loop of henle is the U shaped part of nephron which is responsible for absorption of water and sodium chloride from urine to back into blood circulation. It is also work independently of hormonal control.
