Formation of Urine....

[jayson]

urine is formed by the three steps...
Filtration
Reabsorbtion
Secretion

what is the difference between reabsorbtion and secretion ?

My though: The difference is that reabsorbtion is the movement of essential molecules rom the nephrons to the blood. Where as secretion is the movement of ammonia and other durgs or substances that the blody is trying to get rid of, from the blood to the nephrons.

Am I right ?

there you've known about it...why did you ask??

[MrMistery]

Yes, you are. Good job!

[Dr.Stein]

This is kinda student that I like, answer her/his own question

Now I want to ask you (or test?): What is augmentation?

[victor]

the process right after filtration and reabsorption...
that's the best answer..

[Dr.Stein]

That could be a good answer but that's NOT a proper one If you answer that way in my Physiology class you are failed. Sorry

[Poison]

so what is the proper one? Will you let us know DrStein?

[Dr.Stein]

Maybe latter... The time is still enough for you to search for the answer by yourselves

[MrMistery]

Pick your explanation:
1. The act or process of augmenting, or making larger, by addition, expansion, or dilation; increase.

2. The state of being augmented; enlargement.

3. The thing added by way of enlargement.

4. A additional charge to a coat of arms, given as a mark of honor.

5. (Science: medicine) The stage of a disease in which the symptoms go on increasing.

6. In counterpoint and fugue, a repetition of the subject in tones of twice the original length. Augmentation court, a court erected by Stat. 27 Hen. VIII, to augment to revenues of the crown by the suppression of monasteries. It was long ago dissolved.

Synonym: Increase, enlargement, growth, extension, accession, addition.

Andrew is seaching for us. By the way, I did it too, but couldn't relate them to urine formation.

[MrMistery]

me neither
but who said it should be about urine formation?

[victor]

That could be a good answer but that's NOT a proper one If you answer that way in my Physiology class you are failed. Sorry

haha..I won't let my ballpoint write those silly sentences in your physiology class..relax Dr...as a good soon-to-be-biologist, I'll wrote much better definition than my previous..

me neither
but who said it should be about urine formation?

the Admin said it, because this is Physiology class...
