Study Notes
- The kidneys are responsible for urine formation and waste removal.
- The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney.
- The glomerulus filters blood arriving from the afferent arteriole.
- Reabsorption and excretion are controlled by the nephrons.
- The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System regulates blood pressure and sodium reabsorption.
- Filtration occurs through the glomerular filtration barrier.
- Hydrostatic pressure and oncotic pressure affect filtration.
- Filtration and reabsorption remove substances from urine and return them to the blood.
- Active and passive transport mechanisms are involved in reabsorption.
- Hormones such as aldosterone and ADH regulate sodium and water reabsorption.
