Glomerular Filtration And Renal Blood Flow Notes "What is renal blood flow and glomerular filtration?" The first step in the formation of urine by the kidneys is the production of an ultrafiltrate of plasma across the filtration barrier. The process of glomerular filtration and regulation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal blood flow (RBF) are discussed in … [Read more...] about Renal Blood Flow and Glomerular Filtration Notes

Calcium And Phosphorus Homeostasis Notes
Regulation Of Calcium And Phosphate Homeostasis "What is calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and why is it important?" Ca++ and inorganic phosphate (Pi)* are multivalent ions that subserve many complex and vital functions. Ca++ is an important cofactor in many enzymatic reactions, it is a key second messenger in numerous signaling pathways, it plays an important role in … [Read more...] about Calcium And Phosphorus Homeostasis Notes
Renal Transport Mechanisms: NaCl And Water Reabsorption Along The Nephron Notes
Renal Transport Mechanisms: Nacl And Water Reabsorption Along The Nephron The formation of urine involves three basic processes: (1) Ultrafiltration of plasma by the glomerulus, (2) Reabsorption of water and solutes from the ultrafiltrate, and (3) Secretion of select solutes into the tubular fluid. Although an average of 115 to 180 L of fluid for women and 130 to 200 … [Read more...] about Renal Transport Mechanisms: NaCl And Water Reabsorption Along The Nephron Notes
