Section 26-1: The organs of the urinary system function in excreting wastes and regulating body fluids
Section 26-2: Kidneys are highly vascular organs containing functional units called nephrons
Section 26-3: Different segments of the nephron form urine by filtration, reabsorption, and secretion
Section 26-4: The glomerulus filters blood through the filtration membrane to produce filtrate; several pressures determine the glomerular fil

Section 26-6: Countercurrent multiplication allows the kidney to regulate the volume and concentration of urine
Section 26-7: Urine is transported by the ureters, stored in the bladder, and eliminated through the urethra by urinary reflexes
Section 26-8: Age-related changes affect kidney function and urination
Section 26-9: The urinary system is one of several body systems involved in waste excretion
