Non-selective filter
–substances having
MW of <70k daltons
may pass thru and
become part filtrate
1) Renal Blood Flow
2)Glomerular Filtration
3)Tubular Reabsorption
4)Tubular Secretion
3. Tubular Reabsorption
controlled H2O
GAAs-WU reabsorption
RENAL
THRESHOLD H2O
- Glucose
*160-180mg/dL
4. Tubular Secretion
Involves passage of substances from the blood
in the peritubular capillaries to the
tubular filtrate
2 major Functions/ Roles:
a) Elimination of waste products not filtered by
the glomerulus
b) Regulation of acid base balance in the body
through secretion of hydrogen ions
