Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure

Capsular Hydrostatic Pressure is the pressure exerted by fluids in the Bowman's capsule of the kidneys, playing a critical role in the filtration process of blood into urine.

Net Filtration Pressure

The difference in pressure that drives the movement of fluid and solutes across a capillary wall, determined by the balance of hydrostatic and oncotic pressures.

Hypertonic Urine

Urine that has a higher osmotic pressure than the surrounding fluids, indicating a high concentration of solutes.

Collecting Duct

The tubule segment in the kidneys that receives urine from multiple nephrons and transports it to the renal pelvis, playing a key role in the body's ability to concentrate urine.
