Excretory System: Kidney - Part 2

This lecture continues exploring the kidney's role in the excretory system, covering glomerular filtration rate and the stages of urine formation. Learn about the identification and selective excretion of substances, muscle-kidney crosstalk with the phospho-creatine system, and oncotic pressure. Examine the various pressures across the renal system and how autoregulation of renal blood flow works. The video explains filtration rate, reabsorption rate, secretion rate, and how the kidneys handle electrolytes, drug metabolites, glucose, and creatine. Additional topics include hydronephrosis, myogenic mechanism, and tubuloglomerular feedback, providing a comprehensive understanding of kidney function in the excretory system.
