During today's class, we learned the process of filtration that takes place in the kidneys. Lena took her notes and had a good class.

Discuss the function of the circulatory system as it relates to transport, regulation, and protection.
List, discuss, and explain the main characteristics of the blood, including the amount, colors, pH, and viscosity.
From a diagram of whole blood centrifuged, indicate the amount of plasma and formed elements.
Begin a discussion of the plasma, the liquid part of the blood by explaining the importance of water as its main chemical component which allows most allows nutrients, metabolic wastes, hormones, antibodies and gases to be transported.

During today's class, we learned how the kidneys help to keep homeostasis by controlling the blood pressure. Lena took notes.

We have continued working on the anatomy and physiology of the urinary system.
