The Kidney

[CudiKid2011]

played.



[AMAOJRT]

roughly a million nephrons, not thousand

[EMac1eod]

@AMAOJRT It says 'thousands'. Could be a thousand thousand. Or less colloquially - a million. Most textbooks say thousands.

Not that it really matters

I think you're confusing renal capsule with Bowman's capsule...or are they the same thing? I'm almost positive the renal capsule surrounds the entire kidney, its Bowman's capsule that surrounds the glomerulus and passes filtrate into the proximal convuluted tubule. I have a test on this in an hour, and now I'm confused :/

[iabaca]

@jackaaay91 renal capsul and bowmans capsule same thing. they suround the glomerulus and can be called either but in your exam call it bowmans. the one that surrounds the whole kidney is just the capsule

Thanks...good to refresh my mind the night before my human bio A2 paper :)

Good job, probs mention ADH more? =]

[omgu8mynewt]

im doing a2 aqa biology b (not human) and this was help, although lotsa text and less diagrams are hard to concentrate on

[scabo0o]

You need to mention ADH more at the end.

[OlyGian]

Sorry. I didn't think it was necessary to put it in as I've already explained it fully in the Homeostasis video, but maybe I should've put it on this one instead.

[scabo0o]

Ohh ryt, i hadnt watched that one yet. but your videos are an awsome help! ive given a link to your profile to the rest of my bio class.

[OlyGian]

Wow, thanks. I'm really glad you're finding them helpful. :)

[Bvenged505]

These videos are helping me revise my Biology GCSE and they're actually helping more than BiteSize has :D

[OlyGian]

Really? Wow, that's great, thanks! In your face BBC! :D

I'm really glad you find them useful though. And if you understand all this stuff then you should think about doing Biology at A Level, you'd probably find it really easy. :)

[Bvenged505]

yep I am xD

[OlyGian]

Yay, Biology is the best! :D
