To explain: Autoregulation in the kidney.
Concept introduction: The kidney is an important organ of the excretory system. The fundamental unit of kidney is nephron. As blood passes through the kidneys, it filters the nitrogenous waste to form urine. The processes include glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. It maintains homeostasis of the body.
To determine: The other regulatory mechanisms that work in renal function.
Concept introduction: The kidney is an important organ of the excretory system, and nephron is the basic structural unit of kidney. As blood passes through the kidneys, it filters the nitrogenous waste to form urine. The processes include glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. It maintains homeostasis of the body.
