Newman’s Neurons

Today we reviewed the parts of the kidney and watched a simulation of the nephron and its ability to filter the blood.  What happened to the urea, glucose, water, sodium, and protein?  Click here if you would like to watch the simulation again:  http://www.biologymad.com/resources/kidney.swf.

Next, you continued working on your labs for these two systems:  Enzyme Lab, Sheep Kidney Observation Lab, and U.R. in Trouble clinical prob.em solving activity.  The enzyme lab and sheep kidney lab needs to be turned in by tomorrow.  U.R. in Trouble is due by Friday.

Homework:  STUDY for tomorrow’s test on the digestive system and the urinary system.
