Physiology Of Urine Formation Filtration Reabsorption And Secretion

Physiology Of Urine Formation Filtration Reabsorption And Secretion — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.

Physiology of Urine Formation: Filtration, Reabsorption, and Secretion Labelled parts: Glomerulus, Bowman's capsule, PCT (Proximal Convoluted Tubule), Loop of Henle, DCT (Distal Convoluted Tubule), Filtration, Reabsorption, Secretion. A tuft of capillaries situated within Bowman's capsule where blood filtration occurs. A cup-like sack at the beginning of the tubular component of a nephron in the mammalian kidney. Proximal Convoluted Tubule; major site for reabsorption of nutrients and ions. A U-shaped portion of the tubule that conducts urine within each nephron and helps recover water and salts. Distal Convoluted Tubule; involved in the conditional reabsorption of sodium and water.
