Active vs passive mechanisms of reabsorption in the nephron Analyses of urine samples Autoregulation of glomerular filtration rate Chemical vs mechanical digestion within the GI tract Enzymes involved in digestion Flow of blood around the nephron Flow of blood throughout the kidney Function of the Loop of Henle Functions of each of the organs/tissue of the GI tract Mechanisms and location of reabsorption and excretion of filtrate Mechanisms of filtration of blood Nervous system control of bladder control and urination Path of filtrate within the nephron and kidney Peristaltic vs segmental contraction within the GI tract Processes of the GI tract (motility, digestion, storage, secretion, absorption) Processing of filtrate within the nephron Roles and actions of aldosterone and vasopressin in the kidney The hepatic portal system and first-pass metabolism Urine formation, storage, and release Various exocrine glands and their secretions within the GI tract
