Nephrons Flashcards
3 steps in the nephrons
Filtration re absorption scecretion
The glomerulus moves what into the bowmans capsule and how
Hugh blood pressure in glomerulus causes force against capillary walls that helps to move water and solutes from blood into bowmans
The filtration of the blood results in what consisting of what
Glomerulus filtrate - water, salts K and Na, glucose and urea
Urea is formed where and from what
Liver from amino acids
What is left in the arteriolar glomerulus
RBCs and larger proteins
What 3 things are reabsorbed by the blood from the PCT and how
Nutrients (glucose, amino, k n) - active
Negatively charged ions - passive by attraction
Water - osmosis
What environment is the medulla
Salty
What mostly leaves the filtrate in the descending Henle
Water
What mostly leaves the filtrate in ascending Henle
Solutes
The DCT and blood reabsorbed what
Na Cl h2o
What happens in DCT and Collecting tubules
Secretion from blood to tubules
What is secreted from the blood and into the DCT/cOllecting
H+, K+, Urea and drugs
The blood is filtered to produce what
Urine
