Write a few sentences comparing bulk flow in the glomerular capillaries to other systemic capillaries.
Describe primary and secondary active transport. What does it mean that they are active? What is the difference between primary and secondary transport? How do you determine what flows which direction from the components in the apical (lumen) and basolateral (interstitial) side?
How do you solve problems with the glomerular filtration rate, renal threshold, transport maxima, and excretion rates? Why does it matter?
Describe the structures of excretion and the function of each in the process.
