Renal Sinus
Major Calyx
Kidney Filtration
Movement of fluid from glomerular capillaries to Bowman’s space
Kidney Reabsoprtion
Movement of substances from nephron to surrounding vessels
Kidney Secretion
Movement of substances from surrounding vessels into the nephron
Kidney Excretion
Fluid homeostasis
Kidney Acid
Base balance homeostasis
Blood flow to kidneys
1.2-1.3 L
Urinary Excretion
Glomerular filtration - Tubular reabsorption + Tubular secretion
- Collecting duct concentration
Urine entering collecting duct
diluted and the concentrated while in there
