Blood vessels that bring blood away from the organ.
2 of 8
Ultrafiltration
Filtration at a molecular level - as in the glomerulus where large molecules and cells are left in the blood, smaller molecules pass into the Bowman's capsule.
3 of 8
Podocytes
Specialised cells that make up the inner lining of the Bowman's capsule.
4 of 8
Microvilli
Microscopic folds of the cell surface membrane that increase the surface area of the cell.
5 of 8
Co-Transporter Protiens
Proteins in the cell surface membrane that allow the facilitated diffusion of simple ions to be accompanied by transport of a larger molecule such as glucose.
6 of 8
Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion that is enhanced by the action of proteins in the cell membrane.
7 of 8
Sodium-Potassium Pump
Special proteins in the cell surface membrane that actively transport sodium and potassium ions against their concentration gradients.
