what is the most toxic type of nitric waste
ammonia
what type of effect does high blood pressure have on nephrons
outward movement into nephrons
what is the juxta-meduallary nephron
nephron that enters the renal medulla
what is the cortical nephron
nephron that stays superficial in the renal cortex
what kind of movement is reabsorption
nephron –> capillary
what kind of movement is secretion
capillary –> nephron
what is a podocyte
cell that surrounds the capillary and controls the leakage of the capillary into the nepron
what is the apical membrane
lumen side of nephron
what is basolateral membrane
intersitual fluid/ capillary
what percent of reabsorbption is complete when filtrate reached assending loop of henle
90%
what is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule
HCO3-
NaCl **
nutrients **
H2O
K+
(* = active transport)
what is secreted in the proximal tubule
H+ **
NH3
(* = active transport)
what is reabsorbed in the descending lopp of henle

what is secreted in the descending loop of henle
nothing
what is reabsorbed in the assending loop of henle
