Study Notes
- Notes on kidney anatomy and urine formation:
Kidney Structure
- Nephron is the structural unit of the kidney.
Nephron Components
- Renal corpuscle
- Includes a glomerulus surrounded by Bowman's capsule, which filters blood.
- Renal tubule
- Includes the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule, and collecting duct.
Stages of Urine Formation
- Filtration of blood
- Results in primary urine, containing substances needed by the body.
- Reabsorption of valuable and needed substances.
- Reabsorption of water
- Secretion
- Forms final urine.
Urine composition and urine analysis
- Includes water, urea, uric acid.
