Renal Functions
− The ability of the kidney to selectively clear waste
products from the blood and simultaneously maintain
body’s essential water and electrolytes is controlled
by nephron by the following functions
o Renal Blood Flow
o Glomerular Filtration (GF)
o Tubular Reabsorption
o Tubular Secretion
AFFERENT-GLOMERULUS-EFFERENT ARTERIOLES
✓ In the concept of renal blood flow, there is a
