How does urine differ from the original filtrate?
From the original filtrate, a lot of much needed electrolytes (Sodium e.t.c) are reabsorbed (absorbed back into blood), a few substances secreted further into the urine, then loads of water reabsorbed to fine tune body water to exactly how much you need(as much as possible), making urine far more concentrated than the original filtrate.
What substances are removed from the filtrate and reabsorbed by the capillaries?
red blood cells
Why are red blood cells absent from the glomerular filtrate?
first off you need to know that glomerular filtrate is plasma that has entered Bowman's capsule. Now the reason why red blood cells are normally absent from the glomerural filtrate is because they are to big to pass into the Bowman's capsule. Source : class knowledge
What happens to glucose which the nephron along with a filtrate?
It is reabsorbed into the blood through blood capillaries surroundings the tubule
What makes up the renal portal system?
It is made up of the afferent arteriole which supplies blood to the kidneys. The glomerulus, which is the first capillary bed produces filtrate. The efferent arteriole takes blood from the kidneys. The peritubular capillary system, which is the second capillary bed reclaims most of the filtrate. Filtrate is what eventually becomes urine.
What happens to filtrate volume when systemic blood pressure is decreased?
Filtrate volume decreases when systemic blood pressure decreases.
The filtrate removed from the blood by the kidneys might contain?
The kidneys remove toxic substances from the blood. The main substance that the kidneys filtrate from the blood is known as urea.
How does Tubular re-absorption and tubular secretion differ?
secretion adds material to the filtrate; reabsorption removes materials from the filtrate

The materials that are filtered from the blood are called what?
It is called Filtrate
What causes filtrate to flow from the blood into the glomerulus?
Is increase in blood pressure in the capillaries
What the difference between filtrate and urine?
The main difference between filtrate and urine is the chemical composition of the two. Filtrate has almost all the substance that blood plasma has except blood proteins while urine only contains waste substances.

Define tubular secretion?
Process whereby selected molecules are actively transported from the blood into the filtrate Process whereby selected molecules are actively transported from the blood into the filtrate
What condition allows red blood cells and protein to enter the filtrate?
Conditions which allow the red blood cells and protein to enter the filtrate are renal infections, kidney infections, diabetes, hypothyroidism, jaundice, and Glomerulonephritis. The reasons of red blood cells entering the filtrate can be various and dangerous.
What materials remain in the blood after the filtrate has been removed?
the flibia
Do the glomerular filtrate has White Corpuscles?
It does not contains the white or red blood cells. It does not contain the proteins also. It is abnormal to find the proteins in this filtrate.
