Term
glomerulus
Definition
a network of blood capillaries tucked into Bowman's capsule
Term
fluid, electrolytes, and wastes
Definition
early in the process of urinary formation, ?, ? and ? from metabolism are filtered from the blood and enter the nephron

no
Definition
can kidneys reabsorb potassium ions from renal tubules?
Term
99%
Definition
what percent of water that leaves the blood each by glomerular filtration return to the blood by proximinal tubule reabsorption?
Term
less amount reabsorbed, greater amount excreted in urine
Definition
the greater amount of sodium intake, the ? the amount reabsorbed and the ? the amount excreted in urine
Term
potassium-wasting

some diuretic drugs which stimulate the production of urine are said to be ?
Term
secretion
Definition
the process by which substances move into urine forming in the distal and collecting tubules from blood in the capillaries
Term
