Question

2. Researchers interested in the physiology of the kidney made the measurements shown in table 27.1. On the basis of your understanding of how the kidney works, explain why some substances are found at the same concentration in the plasma and glomerular filtrate and why albumin, a plasma protein, is not. Also explain why concentrations of urea, uric acid, potassium, and chloride are higher in the urine than in the glomerular filtrate, but concentrations of glucose and sodium are lower in the urine than in the glomerular filtrate. 3. Create a flowchart that traces a drop of water from the time it enters the mouth until it is voided in the urine of a mammal. You will have to list structures from the digestive, circulatory, and excretory systems.
