Document Summary

Kidney - urine produced from blood coming through renal artery. Ureter - carries urine to urinary bladder. Split into renal pelvis, renal cortex, renal medulla. Nephron - cells responsible for the filtration, reabsorption, secretion, excretion. Bowman"s capsule - surrounds glomerulus like a balloon. Proximal convoluted tubule - extends into medulla, loops back to cortex; water gets reabsorbed loop of henle - only found in mammals/birds >> ability to concentrate urine things not filtered go to efferent arteriole >> peritubular capillaries. Reabsorption/secretion - water, dissolved solutes must return to blood or else animal urinates to death. Solid molecules reabsorbed through active transport, cotransport. Substances get secreted by moving from blood capillaries to filtrate. Excretion - gets rid of harmful substances transport in nephron - osmotic gradient needed for reabsorption. Proximal convoluted tubule - active transport of na+ and cl- >> reabsorption.
