Problem 1: Describe in detail how filtration, reabsorption and secretion occur, in which section of the nephron does each occur, how is each regulated.
Problem 2: Describe what parts of the nephron are in the cortex and what are in the medulla.
Problem 3: Describe what factors affect glomerular filtration rate, what impact each of these factors has on the amount of filtrate produced and how these factors are regulated.
Problem 4: Describe reabsorption in terms of what is absorbed in each region of the tubules.
Problem 5: Explain how NA+ is reabsorbed and explain the relationship between NA+ reabsorption and the reabsorption of other substances in the tubules.
Problem 6: Describe the microanatomy of the juxtaglomerular complex.
Problem 7: When blood pressure is too high, how does the juxtaglomerular complex effect the BP in the glomerulus, the glomerular hydrostatic pressure and the filtration rate.
