2.72 Water re-absorption

  • Bowman's Capsule
    • Where ultrafiltration happens
      • Blood foes in to the kidney
        • High pressures
      • Dissolved contents in the blood are forced out into the Broman's capsule
        • Glomerula Filtrate
    • Too much water is filtrated
      • Filtrate passes along the tubule
      • Reaches collecting duct
        • Water is removed from filtrate
          • goes down medula
        • Returned back into the blood vessels
    • Water has been reabsorbed into the blood
