Document Summary

Human physiology 2 renal physiology: urine concentraion, volume, transport, storage, & Repilian nephron because this is how they look in repiles. When iltraion occurs all the small molecules in the blood like ions, water, glucose these things are freely ilterable at the glomerulus and hence the concentraion of these things is exactly the same in. Bowman"s capsule as it would be in the blood plasma. They take up water at the exact same rate we are taking up ions b/c they are coupled together osmolarity of the urine stays the same even as it lows through the proximal tubule. When at the distal tubule things start to change. Water reabsorpion at the distal tubule is opional/regulated water reabsorpion at the distal tubule may or may not occur. This is a regulatable aspect of our nephrons. This is depicted as the solid black line. This is depicted as the dashed black line. Repiles cannot produce urine more concentrated than the blood.
