The kidneys filter blood plasma, removing metabolic wastes, toxins from the body and excrete them in the form of urine. During this process, they also maintain constant volume and composition of the blood, or homeostasis. Blood enters the kidney via the renal artery, which divides to smaller arteries and finally arterioles. The arterioles get into contact with functional units of the kidney called nephrons. This is where blood filtration and urine formation take place. The filtered blood is then collected in to a series of larger veins and exits the kidney through the renal vein. The urine is collected in collecting ducts and leaves the kidney via the ureters. A nephron consists of 2 major parts: Bowman’s capsule; and a long renal tubule. Renal tubules of several nephrons connect to a common collecting duct. There are 3 steps in the formation of urine: glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption and secretion, water conservation. Blood enters the Bowman’s capsule via the afferent arteriole, passes through a ball of capillaries called the glomerulus, and leaves via the efferent arteriole. Hydrostatic and osmotic pressures drive water and solutes from blood plasma through a filtration membrane into the capsular space of nephron. These include water, inorganic ions, glucose, amino acids and various metabolic wastes such as urea and creatinine. The amount of filtrate produced per minute is called glomerular filtration rate, or GFR. The GFR is kept at a stable value by several feedback mechanisms within the kidneys. This is known as renal autoregulation. The GFR is also under sympathetic and hormonal control. The proximal convoluted tubule, reabsorbs about two thirds of the filtrate. In this process, water and solutes are driven through the epithelial cells that line the tubule into the extracellular space. They are then taken up by the peritubular capillaries. Sodium re-absorption is most important, as it creates osmotic pressure that drives water and electrical gradient that drives negatively charged ions. Sodium level inside the epithelial cells is kept low thanks to the sodium-potassium pumps that constantly pump sodium ions out into the extracellular space. This creates a concentration gradient that favors sodium diffusion from tubular fluid into the cells. Sodium is absorbed by symport proteins that also bind glucose and some other solutes. About half of nitrogenous wastes also re-absorbs back to the bloodstream. Some of the re-absorption also occurs by the paracellular route through tight junctions between the epithelial cells. At the same time, tubular secretion also takes place. The main function of the loop of Henle is to create and maintain an osmolarity gradient in the medulla that enables the collecting ducts to concentrate urine at a later stage. The ascending limb of the loop actively pumps sodium out making the medulla “salty”. The descending limp of the loop is permeable to water but much less to sodium. As the water exits the tubule by osmosis, the filtrate gets more and more concentrated as it reaches the bottom. The ascending limb, on the other hand, is permeable to ions but not water. As a result, the filtrate loses sodium as it goes up and becomes more diluted at the top of the loop. Re-absorption and secretion in the distal convoluted tubule are under control of various hormones. The main function of the collecting duct is to concentrate urine and therefore conserve water. As it gets saltier deep in the medulla, the filtrate loses more and more water as it flows down the collecting duct. The collecting duct is also under hormonal control so it can adjust the amount of re-absorbed water accordingly to the body’s state of hydration.

Great video! I really think a lot of the textbooks and 'professional resources' do a poor job of conveying information. Your content gives the big picture first, allows us to visualize it, and then goes into important details to know about each section. If more people adopted your teaching techniques, there would be more successful students.
Ncert samjh nahi a rhi thi na 😂😂😂
@@charanSparsh7 hnnn 🤣😂🥲
No, what she's teaching is same as what is written in ncert book but from i understood sometimes it's harder to visualise the things that are written in books hence confusion
Ya😅
The explanation and the animation was amazing Ngl.
Ji
Correct
What's Ngl

I keep coming back to your videos! I am a visual learner and you are so clear and pristine in explaining such complex things!!! Thank you soooooo very much! A&P2 student here. Future nurse!
After watching 4-5 other videos about the subject, this has the clarity and details I was looking for, thank you!
Same here I watched 2 to 3 videos before this one but this gives more clarity
my teacher took 5 hrs to explain this information and I was so confused. I watched this video and understood everything in 7 min. Why do I bother going to class if I'm just going to end up going to this channel to learn? oh yeah participation points.
Teachers only reads the book and draws a diagram on board but animated videos have clarified my concepts
Me and my friend want to thank you for making physiology easier after watching your video.
The reason to Love AMM video's... Short and to the point
hands down BEST A&P videos out there. Thank you so much for pouring so much love into these for us! I will join/become a member for the member only videos!! Beyond worth the value❤
Brilliant animation with clear fluent narration.
The use of illustrative diagrams helped me. I’ve watched others but was unsure until I watched this video. Thanks
I learned more in this video than I did sitting for 1.5 hours in a classroom, 2 days a week for 3 weeks. That’s insane.
Vhi to Mai sochu ye papa ki pari ki😅bio ka raj kya he 🎉😂
There is only 5 minutes left in my exam and I am watching this video at a last moment I am at exam centre
Same
so how about your result?
Mashallah

Ye kuch jyada ho raha hai bhai
I'm in love of this voice. Content is also amazing
What a great video explanation! Such a complex organ, no wonder it's so vital.
Extremely helpful! My postbacc program's lecturers have been teaching us the opposite of this and I've been so confused. This cleared up the context of what is going where so much better than they did. Thanks!
What an animation!! What a way of teaching.. !! She is like a real genius. Take love mam from india 🇮🇳❤️
Thanks 😊
Ugh thank you. Nursing school was awful for me but this helped a lot
I watched many videos related to this topic but no video satisfied me. Every part related to this topic is described very beautifully, it is very helpful to me. Keep it up guys!!
thank you so much for saving me the headache of going through the boring text again and again. hands down the best explanation !!
Nice, this has made renal physiology simple..
Please how do I get this course

Great video, it explains the urinary system and the filtration process in simple terms.
Why colleges and universities can't work with such clarities and simplistic forms like this, it is clear, on point and easy to understand.
ikr the whole time during lecture i'm thinking this is such a waste of time
This channel is Love
I cannot express my gratitude to you guys. You're Lifesave
This video is really impressive, impactful and insightful.
I have learnt a lot
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER… A-level text books overcomplicate this topic smmm
Terrific animated video. Cleared my longlasting confusion. Thank you so much for your support.
Hi! Your videos are of great help. Our teacher used this to teach us the processes involved in urine formation! Thank you!
Our Creator is so powerful to design this amazing plumbing. All parts are ensured with functions essential for our survival. It is also designed with complexity at a level of human intellect to understand.
