ultrafiltration

the non-specific filtration of blood under high-pressure and occurs in the Bowman’s capsule

2
New cards

as blood moves into the kidney through afferent arterioles

it enters the glomerulus

3
New cards

at a high-pressure, blood is filtered by…

the basement membrane

4
New cards

the basement membrane restrics…

the passage blood cells and large proteins

5
New cards

filtrate lacks…

blood cells and plasma proteins

6
New cards

the high-pressure of ultrification is created by…

the glomerulus have a wide afferent arteriole and narrow efferent arteriole

7
New cards

the surface area for filtration is increased by…

narrow branches formed by the glomerulus

8
New cards

osmoregulation

the control of water and solute concentrations in body fluid

9
New cards

osmoregulation takes place in the…

Loop of Henle and collecting duct

10

the medulla

11
New cards

filtrate enters the collecting duct from…

the distal convoluted tubule

12
New cards

countercurrent flow in the collecting duct mainrains…

a concentration gradient for the osmosis of water into blood
