PY - 2014 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part One Basic Exam AB - The kidney is a complex network of approximately two million nephrons that are involved in several regulatory and homeostatic functions. Each nephron consists of a glomerulus and a tubule that empties into a collecting duct. Urine is formed by glomerular ultrafiltration, and tubular reabsorption and secretion. The nephron regulates hormones that contribute to fluid homeostasis, bone metabolism, and hematopoiesis.
