glomerulus
Chapter 26 - Urinary
________ is what is filtered from the blood in the nephron
filtrate
Chapter 26 - Urinary
where does the filtrate go
capsular space
Chapter 26 - Urinary
blood flow:
blood - afferent arteriole - glomerulus - efferenent arteriole
blood in glomerulus - filtrate into capsular space - PCT - Henle Loop - DCT - collecting duct - papillary duct - minor calyx - major calyx- renal pelvis - ureter - urinary bladder - urethra - discharge
blood to urine flow
