Study Notes
- Urine formation involves 3 processes: glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion.
- Glomerular filtration involves the movement of water and solutes from blood plasma into the renal tubule.
- Tubular reabsorption involves the reabsorption of about 99% of filtered water and useful solutes back into the blood.
- Tubular secretion involves the secretion of wastes, drugs, and excess ions into the fluid.
- Tubular secretion removes substances from the blood.
- Only 20% of plasma passing through the glomerulus is filtered.
- Less than 1% of filtered fluid is excreted.
- The process is highly efficient.
- Proteins are not filtered in glomerular filtration.
- Water and solutes move across the wall of glomerular capillaries.
