Explain the possible physiological phenomena that transpired while tracing every steps from the pressure in the afferent arteriole – glomerulus filtrate – proximal convoluted loop – loop of Henle – distal convoluted loop – collecting duct – ureter – urinary bladder.

Based on your knowledge on the human urinary system, analyze the the follow condition and respond appropriately. Mr. John Doe had visited his primary care physician for irregularity in his urine output. While at the clinic, urinalysis results indicated a concentrated urine with trace amount of glucose and creatinine. Explain the possible physiological phenomena that transpired while tracing every steps from the pressure in the afferent arteriole – glomerulus filtrate – proximal convoluted loop – loop of Henle – distal convoluted loop – collecting duct – ureter – urinary bladder. In each phase of this path, indicate the substances reabsorbed and secreted out of and into the tubule. In addition, discuss the hormone(s) that is/are playing a key role in the process. Use the proper anatomical/physiological terms.
