Identify the cellular function of several segments of the nephron
Describe the transport of substances (Na+, K+, Cl–, Glucose, etc.) and water in each segment of the nephron: PT, DLH, ALH, DT and DT
Describe the mechanism of transport in each nephron segment
Define the normal range (percentage) of reabsorption or secretion of Na+, K+, water, etc. along the nephron under both normal volume and in volume depletion
Describe the transport of solute and water in absence of hormonal control
Describe the fine-tune of solute and water transport that require hormonal control
Recognize how the anatomical arrangement of the nephron produce highly effective transport of solute and water
Identify the importance of the concentration gradient between cortex and medulla of the nephron
Describe the countercurrent mechanism
Identify the importance of the countercurrent mechanism occurring between ALH and the DLH
