Course Description

Overview

Explore the fundamental concepts of renal physiology in this 51-minute lecture from Yale University's Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering course. Delve into the function and anatomy of the kidney, with a focus on the nephron's cell types and structural aspects. Examine the processes of filtration, toxic waste secretion, and reabsorption of water, ions, and nutrients through the glomerulus and various nephron segments. Understand glomerular filtration rate as a function of pressure drop, regulated by afferent and efferent arterioles. Learn how this mechanism controls the volume filtered through the glomerulus. The lecture covers introduction to renal physiology, kidney structure and function, mechanisms of renal functions, the process of renal filtration, and the role of pressure in filtration.
