Filtration
This structure is where blood is filtered to form the initial filtrate.
Glomerulus
Reabsorption means moving substances from this to this.
From the nephron tubule back into the blood.
This is the process where substances move from the bloodstream into the nephron tubule to be excreted in urine.
Secretion
The collecting duct receives fluid from this nephron segment.
Distal convoluted tubule.
What is the capital of California?
Sacramento.
Each kidney contains how many nephrons?
Over a million
Most reabsorption happens in this part of the nephron.
Proximal convoluted tubule.
These ions are secreted to help regulate blood pH.
Hydrogen ions
The main function of the collecting duct is to adjust the concentration of this.
Urine.
Which planet is closest to the Sun?
Mercury.
The structure surrounding the glomerulus that collects filtrate.
Bowman's capsule
This hormone increases water reabsorption in the collecting duct.
Antidiuretic hormone or ADH.
This waste product of muscle metabolism is secreted into the tubule.
Creatinine.
The collecting ducts merge into these structures before reaching the renal pelvis.
Papillary ducts.
This element’s chemical symbol is “Fe.”
Iron.
This type of pressure drives filtration in the glomerulus.

In the loop of Henle, this limb lets water leave but keeps solutes inside.
Descending limb.
Secretion mainly occurs in these three parts of the nephron.
Proximal convoluted tubule, Distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct
The permeability of the collecting duct to water depends on this hormone.
ADH
Random math question which will be revealed once this question is picked. Free for all style whichever group says answer first gets points.
12 x 11 - 20 = ?
The combination of filtration pressures that determines how much fluid leaves the blood.
Net filtration pressure.
What are the transport method are used in reabsorption to bring nutrients back from the filtrate.
primary active transport, secondary active transport, simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion
This ion is secreted under the influence of aldosterone.
Potassium.
When ADH levels are low, the urine becomes ______.
Diluted.
Who is known as the king of the north in the show Game of Thrones
