1
New cards

where

Bowmans capsule

2
New cards

3 structures in BC that let molecules across

pores in capillaries

podocytes

afferent arteriole larger diameter than efferent

3
New cards

how are podocytes used

wrap around capillaries so only small molecules can move between gaps

4
New cards

what does a larger diameter in the afferent arteriole do

causes hydrostatic pressure within glomerulus

causes ultrafiltration

5
New cards

what happens in ultrafiltration x2

small substances forced through:

pores in endothelium of capillary

through capillary basement membrane

into bowmans capsle

6
New cards

what cannot pass through and why

proteins- too largeto filter through the glomerular membrane.

7
New cards

where does reabsorption happen

proximal convoluted tubule

8
New cards

how does reabsorption happen

co transport
