Hi Miss Estruch, Im a y13 student doing AQA exam board. Ive also got Selective Reabsorption of water as well and I think you might have missed that part maybe? Other than that everything else in this video has helped me understand alot more about this topic

[FloArthur-vyhn]

at 0:31 it seems you spelt collecting as ‘colleting’ so yeah spelling mistake maybe

Mam I requested you to arrange lectures by chapter for easy topic search.

At 14:55, why would all of the sodium ions being actively transported out of the Loop of Henle mean that when the filtrate reaches the distal convoluted tubule it is dilute? Because as the ascending limb of the loop of henle is impermeable to water, wouldn't that mean that there is no opportunity for water to escape?

[dripdrop]

hiya whats the difference between this and the other nepron video

[aqsakhan]

hi miss estruch, amazing video i just wanted to ask at 13:37 if water was to move out of the ascending limb wouldnt there be a concentrated solution ??

[hafsaahmad]

I actually have my federal board biology paper class 12 and this really helped❤❤

[sabriya]

Do we have to know about podocytes in ultrarfiltration or is it extra detail?

[mjslaw]

thanks this made me understand the topic more

[MissRM-ni]

Thanks Miss Estruch for the updated version ❤
