This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Ch.25 urinary system-McKee, Boyer, Crocker, Poynton, Sprockel, Active Transport responsible for the movement of Sodium, Passive Transport responsible for the movement of Potassium, Aquaporins inserted into the collecting duct upon release of ADH, Sodium reabsorbed into the blood from the PCT, Sodium enhances the osmotic movement of Water, PCT forms a hairpin loop called the Loop of Henle, Angiotensin II which helps to stabilize extracellular fluid volume and systemic Blood Pressure, Nephrons structural and functional units of the kidney responsible for filtering the blood of unwanted metabolites through the processes of: Secretion, Sodium secreted out of the ascending limb of the Loop of Henle, Renin secreted by granular cells, acts on angiotensinogin by converting it to Angiotensin I which is then converted to Angiotensin II, Loop of Henle leads into the DCT, Passive Transport responsible for the movement of Chloride, Reabsorption occurs passively in the thin descending and ascending limbs, and actively in the thick ascending limb, of the Loop of Henle, Nephrons structural and functional units of the kidney responsible for filtering the blood of unwanted metabolites through the processes of: Filtration, Potassium reabsorbed into the blood from the PCT, Water is reabsorbed via osmosis in the descending limb of the Loop of Henle, Filtration is a non-selective process, occurs due to relatively high net blood pressure in the Glomerulus, DCT empties filtrate into the Collecting Duct, Aquaporins in the Collecting Duct, Nephrons structural and functional units of the kidney responsible for filtering the blood of unwanted metabolites through the processes of: Reabsorption
