Starts with Pee 300 A: What are the peritubular capillaries? S2C06 Jeopardy Review Small blood vessels which act as a passageway for blood lying between the efferent arterioles and the interlobular veins, which are the main site from which tubular secretion takes place.

Starts with Pee 400 A: What are phosphate ions? S2C06 Jeopardy Review Negatively-charged ions that make up part of the glomerular filtrate which are largely not reabsorbed by the tubules but end up concentrated in the urine.

Starts with Pee 500 A: What is the prostatic urethra? S2C06 Jeopardy Review Passageway for urine lying between the urinary bladder and the membranous urethra in the male urinary system.

Pee Soup 100 A: What are urea and uric acid? S2C06 Jeopardy Review The two nitrogen-containing waste products left over from the breakdown of amino acids and nucleic acids which are concentrated in urine.

Pee Soup 200 A: What is sodium? S2C06 Jeopardy Review The ion which is reabsorbed first in the proximal convoluted tubule, creating an accumulation of positive charge in the peritubular capillaries.

Pee Soup 300 A: What are chloride, phosphate, or bicarbonate (Hydrogen carbonate) ions? One of three negatively-charged ions which are reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule into the peritubular capillary because it is attracted to the accumulation of positive charge forming there.
