Normal Processes

Embryonic development, fetal maturation, and perinatal changes

Organ structure and function

• Kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra
• Glomerular filtration and
  
  hemodynamics
• Tubular reabsorption and secretion, including transport processes and proteins
• Urinary concentration and dilution
• Renal mechanisms in acid-base balance
• Renal mechanisms in body fluid homeostasis
• Micturition

Cell/tissue structure and function, including renal metabolism and oxygen consumption, hormones produced by or acting on the kidney

Repair, regeneration, and changes associated with stage of life
