Overview of the Urinary System Anatomy of the Kidneys Overview of Renal physiology Renal physiology I: Glomerular Filtration Renal physiology II: Tubular Reabsorption and Secretion Renal physiology III: Regulation of Urine Concentration and Volume Putting It All Together: The Big Picture of Renal physiology Urine and Renal Clearance Urine Transport, Storage, and Elimination 976 Animals living in an aquatic environment face little risk of becoming dehy-drated. However, animals that started to spend more time on dry land millions of years ago needed mechanisms to conserve water and prevent dehydration.
