RBF through the glomerulus. Role to maintain constant hydrostatic pressure in glomerular capillaries
1 of 7
What does net Glomerular Pressure determine?
the rate of filtrate flow through the glomerulus (Glomerular Filtration Rate- GFR)
2 of 7
Tubule site which reabsorbs salts at the highest rate (60-70%)
Promximal convoluted tubule (PCT)

Tell me about the carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, beyotch
acetazolamide: responsible for reabsorption of bicarbonate in the PCT, enzyme reversibly converts carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water and vice versa

Loop diuretics- where absorbed and where/how secreted? (pharmacokinetics)
absorbed in the gut, secreted into the tubular filtrate by OAT in the PCT
