💧 Mechanisms of Reabsorption: How the Kidneys Fine-Tune Filtration
Learn how the kidneys filter, reabsorb, secrete, and excrete substances to maintain homeostasis. This King of the Curve visual explains nephron function and the equation “Excretion = Filtration Reabsorption + Secretion,” perfect for MCAT and NCLEX review.
⚡ Mechanism of Titratable Acid Excretion in α-Intercalated Cells
Understand how α-intercalated cells in the kidney regulate acid-base balance through ATP-driven proton pumps and carbonic anhydrase. Learn how titratable acid excretion works a must-know concept for the MCAT and NCLEX with this King of the Curve visual.
🧠 Juxtaglomerular Apparatus and Glomerulus: The Kidney’s Regulation Hub
Learn about the Juxtaglomerular Apparatus (JGA) and glomerulus — their structure, role in kidney function, and regulation of blood pressure and filtration.
🩺 Understanding the Cross-Section of Glomerulus A
Learn the anatomy and function of the glomerulus with a detailed cross-section diagram. Explore podocytes, Bowman’s capsule, basement membrane, and key filtration steps in kidney histology.
🧠 Anatomy of the Nephron: The Kidney’s Filtration Master
Explore the detailed anatomy of the nephron, the kidney’s essential filtration unit. Learn about glomerulus, tubules, and their role in fluid balance and waste removal.
