Chapter 13d: Flashcards

Renal tubule component of the nephron made of the proximal tubule, loop of Henle, distal tubule, and collecting duct	Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) the sum of all forces opposing the flow of blood	Tubular reabsorption the transportation of filtered substances from the renal tubule back into the blood stream
Tubular secretion the transportation of substances from the peritubular capillaries into the renal tubule	Urine filtrate of the blood containing waste and excess materials that is eventually excreted	Vasculature the blood vessels
Veins blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart	Ventricle the large, lower chamber of the heart	Venules nearly microscopic vessels of the venous system emerging from capillary beds
