Professor Fink first reviews the macroscopic structure of the Kidney, including the Renal Cortex, Renal Medulla, Hilum, Ureters & Urethral Canal. He then describes structure of the microscopic Nephrons (Renal Tubules), including the vascular portal system, and the 3 major functional processes: Glomerular Filtration, Tubular Reabsorption and Tubular Secretion. Reference is also made to a number of Urinary Disorders and Pathologies.
