Published 08/25/2024 The rate at which we produce _________is a good indicator of renal health! 
Published 08/25/2024 Filtration through the 3 layers occurs extracellularly via (3)?BUT: what mainly makes filtration occur?
Published 08/25/2024 We need pressure in the glomerular capillary to be HIGH enough to make filtrate leave the plasma and go into the bowman's capsule. So what is preventi…
Published 08/25/2024  If our systemic blood pressure starts to fall too low, filtration will decrease or stop= will not get rid of any waste products! It is impo…
Published 08/25/2024 Changes to different types of filtration pressures may be caused via: 
Published 08/25/2024 What gets through the glomerular filter?
Published 08/25/2024 ____________= the total amount of filtrate formed per minuteBased off of how much urea nitrogen  and creatinine there is in your urine
Published 08/25/2024 Regulation of GF is more easily achieved through regulation of capillary pressure via ________.
Published 08/25/2024 Explain Myogenic reflex
Published 08/25/2024 Explain Tubuloglomerular feedback
Published 08/25/2024 _________= cells of the JGA respond to flow of filtrate in that nephron (monitor Na levels in the filtrate!)
Published 08/25/2024 When is renin released from granular cells? What is the end result?
Published 08/25/2024 What substance is produced at a constant rate in the body, so it is excreted at a constant rate? We can look at the levels of this substance…
Published 08/25/2024 99% of water gets reabsorbed, as does sodium, and under normal conditions, 100% of glucose and amino acids too. PHENOL (waste product) 100% gets excre…
Published 08/25/2024 Tubular reabsorption occurs through either _______ or ______. And ______ transport may involve _______ or _________ transport.
Published 08/25/2024 These are normally 100% reabsorbed in the body dduring glomerular filtration.

Published 08/25/2024 Loop of Henle:It’s purpose is to __________ but ALSO to__________of the interstitial space. This is important (the high osmolarity), for the fina…
Published 08/25/2024 High tonicity will be used in the _____to draw water back out of filtrate and into the body and leave behind a concentrated urine.
