Efferent
What are the 3 filtration membranes?
1 Capillary endothelium
2 Baseline membrane
3 Podocyte cell processes
What are the 2 toxic wastes?
Urea and creatinine
What are some toxic wastes?
1 Glucose
2 Ions
3 Blood cells
Carries fluid away from the capsule?
Proximal convoluted tubules
Other name for fluid
Filtrate fluid
Fluid that passes across the filtration membrane
Filtrate
Reabsorbs ions
Loop of Henle
Downward tube
Descending limb
Upward tube
Ascending limb
Reabsorption of water (20-25%), Secretion of renin
Distal convulated tubules
Consists of cells from the wall of the afferent arteriole and the distal tubule
Juxtaglomerular apparatus
Reabsorption of water (5-10%), Secretion of ADH and ions
Collecting ducts
Secretes ions (hydrogen, ammonium)
Collecting ducts
3 processes in the urine formation
1 Filtration
2 Reabsorption
3 Secretion
Primary site of reabsorption of soultes
Proximal tubules
Further concentrates the filtrate
Descending limb
Dilutes the filtrate by removing solutes
Ascending limb
Removes water and solutes
Distal tubules and Collecting ducts
Small tubules that acrry urine from the renal pelvis
Ureters
Hallow muscular container; stores the urine
Urinary bladder
