Filtered plasma is called
filtrate
The final excreted product of the kidney is
urine
Name the 3 processes of urine formation
filtration, reabsorption, secretion
What is filtration and where does it occur?
- Fluid from the blood is moved into the lumen of the nephron
- Occurs only in renal corpuscle (glomerular capillaries and Bowman's capsule walls are
modified for bulk flow of fluid)
What is reabsorption and where does it occur?
- Substances in filtrate in the lumen of the tubule are moved to the blood in the
peritubular capillaries
- For conservation of nutrients (glucose, calcium, electrolytes, amino acids, etc.)
What is secretion and where does it occur?
- Selectively removes molecules from the blood and moves it to the filtrate in the lumen
of the tubule.
- Occurs w/ peritubular capillaries
- Gets rid of toxins more efficiently
Where is 70% of filtrate reabsorbed?
Proximal tubule
Where is 20% of filtrate reabsorbed?
Loop of Henle
Where is 10% of filtrate reabsorbed?
Distal Tubule and Collecting Duct
T/F: Filtrate is almost identical to plasma at the Bowman's capsule.
