| what is the blind end of the proximal convoluted tubule | bowman's (glomerular) capsule |
| where does urine flow into the ureter | renal pelvis and calyces located in the medulla |
| filtration | large colume fo fluid, including wastes, nutrients, electrolytes, passes frm the blood into the tubule |
| when the filtration pressure increases... | more filtrate forms and more urine is produced |
| substances that remains in the blood after filtration | cells and proteins |
| filtration flows into the tubules in what order | proximal convoluted tubules, loop of Henle, and distal convoluted tubule |
| which tubule transports urine to the renal pelvis | collecting ducts |
