Not sure what you mean by that, but sodium excretion and retention is regulated primarily by the kidney. Sodium isn't really filtered by the kidney, but what happens is that it is so small that it gets by the filtering mechanism of the kidney. The kidney then has special pumps and channels in the functional unit (nephrons) which then takes that sodium back in.

What part of the blood is fiiltered through the kidney?
All of the blood is filtered through the kidneys.
Does almost all of the fluid filtered through the kidneys become urine?
No - a lot of blood is filtered through the kidneys
What substances are filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus?
Water, electrolytes (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride), glucose, and waste products (such as urea, creatinine, and uric acid) are filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus.
What is the liquid that flows through the kidney that is filtered?
blood
What returns filtered blood to the bloodstream after passing through the glomerulus?
The renal vein returns filtered blood to the bloodstream after passing through the glomerulus in the kidneys.
How is blood filtered in kidneys?
Blood gets filtered because of the Nephrons, which are tiny little blood capillaries inside the kidneys.
What liquid is always flowing through the kidneys?
Blood is constantly flowing through the kidneys and being filtered by the nephron. Different parts of the nephron cause reabsorption OS specific electrolytes, like Potassium and Sodium.
Why does blood have to be filtered?
The kidney does not get filtered. It does the filtering of the blood that passes through it. It removes impurities from the blood, and filters these impurities to the urinary bladder. The filtered blood is sent back into the body to be recirculated. And the impurities are expelled from the body in the urine.
How does blood get from the heart to the kidneys to be filtered?
Blood flows from the heart to the kidneys through the renal arteries, which branch off the aorta. Once in the kidneys, blood enters tiny blood vessels called glomeruli, where it is filtered to remove waste and excess fluids. The filtered blood then exits the kidneys through the renal veins back to the heart.
Blood is filtered by the?
Blood is filtered by the kidneys.
What hormone causes increase blood sodium levels?
I'm not an expert or anything but sodium is filtered through the blood and excreted by the kidneys. So chronic renal failure will cause it to increase. This goes for potassium and other electrolytes.
Blood is filtered through---------the of the nephron?
Blood is filtered through the glomerulus of the nephron in the kidney. The glomerulus acts as a specialized cluster of blood capillaries that allows small molecules such as water, salts, and waste products to pass into the nephron for urine formation.
