What is the main function of the kidneys?
The main function of the kidneys is to filter blood and remove waste products from the body.
What hormone regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys?
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) regulates water reabsorption in the kidneys.
What is the functional unit of the kidney?
The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron.
What is the normal pH range for urine?
The normal pH range for urine is 4.5-8.0.
What is the Bowman's capsule?
The Bowman's capsule is a cup-like sac in the nephron that surrounds the glomerulus and filters blood.
What is the function of the juxtaglomerular apparatus?
The juxtaglomerular apparatus regulates blood pressure and the production of renin.
What is the role of aldosterone in the kidneys?
Aldosterone stimulates sodium reabsorption in the kidneys and helps regulate blood pressure.
What is glomerular filtration rate (GFR)?
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the amount of blood that is filtered by the glomeruli per minute.
What is the loop of Henle?
The loop of Henle is a U-shaped structure in the nephron that reabsorbs water and sodium.
What is the role of the collecting duct?
The collecting duct reabsorbs water and sodium from urine and returns them to the bloodstream.
What are the two main processes involved in urine formation?
The two main processes involved in urine formation are filtration and reabsorption.
What is the role of the renal corpuscle?
The renal corpuscle filters blood and removes wastes and excess water to form urine.
What is the role of the glomerulus?
The glomerulus is a network of capillaries that filters blood in the renal corpuscle.
What is the function of the proximal convoluted tubule?
The proximal convoluted tubule reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, and sodium from the urine.
What is tubular secretion?
Tubular secretion is the process by which the kidneys remove waste and excess substances from blood and secrete them into urine.
