overhydration
more urine is produced, remove water from body(less concentrated)

bowman’s capsule(1st step of kindeys)
filters blood

proximal convoluted tubule(2nd step of kidneys)
reabsorbs salt, water, glucose, bicarb, amino acids, potassium
secretes hydrogen and ammonium

descending loop of Henle(3rd step of kidneys)
reabsorbs water

ascending loop of Henle(4th step of kidneys)
reabsorbs salts

distal convoluted tubule(5th step if kidneys)
reabsorbed salts, bicarb, water
secretes H2, Ammonium, potassium

collecting duct(6th step of kidneys)
hormone controlled
