In the kidney, fluid movement occurs primarily through a series of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion processes within the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. Blood enters the glomerulus, where filtration occurs, producing a filtrate that contains water, ions, and small molecules. This filtrate then passes through the renal tubule, where essential substances are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream, and waste products are secreted into the tubule for excretion. This intricate process helps regulate fluid balance, electrolyte levels, and waste removal from the body.

Explain Why fluid flows from the capillaries of the kidneys into the kidney tubules?

What structures rely on pressure for the movement of urine?
Many structures within the kidneys rely on fluid pressure. The glomerus, Bowman's capsule, and tubules are all parts of the kidney that rely on fluid pressure to move the urine components along.
What is the name of the fluid found in the kidney?
Urine
What organ that has the greatest effect on fluid output is the?
The kidney is the organ that has the greatest effect on fluid output. It filters waste products and excess fluid from the blood to produce urine, which helps regulate the body's fluid balance.
What structures rely on fluid pressure for the movement of urine?
Many structures within the kidneys rely on fluid pressure. The glomerus, Bowman's capsule, and tubules are all parts of the kidney that rely on fluid pressure to move the urine components along.
How does the kidney help homemstasis?
The kidney either excrete or reabsorbes the fluid and electrolytes if the body needs it.
Why can't you eat the liquid that comes in the can with kidney beans?
You can eat the fluid that kidney beans comes in. It wont hurt you
What is peritoneal dialysis in the treatment of kidney diseases?

MRI finding of a fluid signal mass located on?
