Across
4. osmoreceptors
5. goes into the glomerulus
6. fluid pressure because of the concentration of blood proteins
9. smooth muscle contracts in response to stretch caused by high blood pressure
15. higher concentration of solutes
17. Found between blood and capsule
18. functional unit of the kidney
19. product of amino acid metabolism
20. When the carriers are exceeded the solute is excreted in the urine
21. Balance maintains solute concentration
24. third stage of urine formation
28. (pressure going out of the glomerulus into the tubule) - (pressure pushing out of the tubule into the glomerulus)
Down
