glomerular filtrate enters bowman's space
Term
glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure
Definition

Definition
about 125mL/min
blood flow controls filtration rate
homeostasis requires constant rate
Term

maximal-vasoconstriction of afferent arterioles allows for blood to go to flight/fight response
Term
tubular reabsorption
sodium
Definition
concentration of Na+ is less in tubule cells than lumen
causes Na+ to enter tubule cell
pumped out of cell then diffuses into peritubular capillary

Term
production of conc. urine
Definition
juxtamedullary nephrons do this
produces osmotic gradient from low solute conc near cortex to high conc deep in medulla
