Across
  1. 3. fine-tuning of solutes (abv)
  2. 4. long tube in kidney that receives urine from DCT and carries it toward the ureter
  3. 7. specialized cells within the JGA that detect changes in salt concentration
  4. 10. main site of filtration located in nephron
  5. 11. movement of substances from the filtrate back into the blood
  6. 13. specialized structure between the afferent/efferent arterioles that help regulate blood pressure and the GFR
  7. 14. movement of substances from the blood into the nephron
  8. 16. supplies blood to the nephron

Down
  1. 1. site of water reabsorption or secretion (not solute)
  2. 2. main site of reabsorption (abv)
  3. 3. site of solute reabsorption or secretion (not water)
  4. 5. process that moves water/small solutes from blood into the nephron
  5. 6. hormone released by kidneys (helps regulate blood pressure)
  6. 8. part of nephron that creates medullary osmotic gradient for water reabsorption or urine concentration
