Document Summary
Within the filtrate there is a whole lot of stuff and some of this material is: What is gained and what is lost in a day. 180 l of water in filtrate but you only make 1-2 liters of urine. 162 g of glucose in the filtrate but none in the urine. 570 g of na in the filtrate but 4g excreted. Uric acid 8. 5 in filtrate and 0. 8g in urine. Creatinine 1. 6g in filtrate and 1. 6g in the urine. Build up of this means kidney problem. Beyond the renal corpuscle, the nephron is completely consumed with regulating these substances. Descending limb of loop of henle lets water out; water permeable. Distal convoluted tubule is where the juxtaglomerular apparatus tastes the filtrate to make sure it"s balanced. Collecting duct is variably permeable to water, depending on how much water you want to get rid of. All of this is in the renal pyramids.
