Document Summary

20% of blood plasma is passed through kidney and filtered. Total = co=5500ml/min, 21% x 5500 = 1155ml/min. Filtrate has same composition as blood plasma. Is the same content because only protein is filtered out through glomerular filtration. Yellow pigment of urine comes from urobilin (rbc breakdown) Urinary excretion = amount filtered amount reabsorbed + amount secreted. Filtrate = protein free blood plasma + water, nutrients, electrolytes. Essential materials are reabsorbed and returned to the blood. Nephron tubule = high reabsorption capacity for substances needed by the body (eg. water, glucose, na+) Nephron tubule wall comprised of single layer of epithelial cells. Two membranes on either side of cell wall. Interstitial fluid lies between nephron tubule and peritubular capillary. The 5 barriers are: lumen cell membrane, cytosol, basolateral cell membrane, interstitial fluid, capillary wall. Via concentration gradient, straight through membrane, or through channels. Uses atp or secondary active transport uses indirect energy from other concentration gradients.
