Glomerular and Tubular Function

?
What is the order of basic renal process?
glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, tubular secretion, excretion
1 of 12
how is filtration driven
starling forces
2 of 12
what happens in the proximal convoluted tubule
reabsorption
3 of 12
What isn't being reabsorbed in the PCT?
protein
4 of 12
What is clearance?
volume of blood cleared of drug per unit of time
5 of 12
What is excretion
amount of drug excreted over period of time
6 of 12
What does a high clearance indicate?
eliminated from blood rapidly by kidney
7 of 12
What does low clearance indicate?
inefficient excretion
8 of 12
What does low renal function mean?
Low clearance and high plasma half life
9 of 12
What is not the role of loop of henle?
reabsorbs ion, water and nutrient; removes toxins and adjust filtrate pH
