- Kidney Function
- Ultrafiltration
- a high pressure is built up which squeezes water, urea, ions and sugar out of the blood.
- Goes into the Bowman's capsule
- The membranes between the blood vessels and the Bowmans capsule act like filters
- This allows big molecules like proteins and blood cells to stay in the blood
- The membranes between the blood vessels and the Bowmans capsule act like filters
- Goes into the Bowman's capsule
- a high pressure is built up which squeezes water, urea, ions and sugar out of the blood.
- Nephrons are filtration units in the kidney's

- Blood enters the capillary network from the renal artery
- The blood is filtered and products are squeezed into the capsule
- These products are then made into either useful or wasted substances.
- Useful subsatnaces are re-absorbed into the blood and wasted substances are turned to urea
- These products are then made into either useful or wasted substances.
- The blood is filtered and products are squeezed into the capsule
- Ultrafiltration
- Reabsorbtion
- as the liquid flows along the nephron useful substances are reabsorbed into the blood
- all the sugar is reabsorbed
- sufficient ions are reabsorbed
- Sufficient water is reabsorbed
- as the liquid flows along the nephron useful substances are reabsorbed into the blood
- Release of waste
- The remaining substances continue along the nephron and into the bladder as urine
- Ultrafiltration
