Flashcards
Ultrafiltration
Ultrafiltration
The process where high pressure in the glomerulus forces fluid and small solutes into the Bowman's capsule.
Glomerular Filtrate
Glomerular Filtrate
The fluid collected in the Bowman's capsule after ultrafiltration, containing water, ions, glucose, and waste products.
Reabsorption
Reabsorption
The kidney function where essential substances and water are transported back from the filtrate into the blood.
