Bowman’s Capsule
Examination of urine to determine presence of blood
cells, bacteria, acidity level, specific gravity and physical characteristics
Urinalysis
Hormone that increases the permeability of the collecting duct to water. (decreasing urine output)
ADH
A fifty-year-old patient was recently diagnosed with diabetes. The urinalysis revealed glycosuria, indicating that the patient’s kidney exceeded its threshold. Which process of urine formation was ineffective?
