Tandem t:slim: 300 units; Due to the larger insulin reservoir, the t:flex has an expanded âbumpâ on the back side (as seen below), which Tandem tells us doesnât add much in size to the new device but does add a little weight to it overall. Still, it remains smaller than even the current Medtronic 5-series pump that holds 300 units.
Good overview! I'm in the process of doing a project on the nephron for my anatomy class, and this is a really good overview. I'd just like to add one thing -- there's also a nephron loop, which is the part of the nephron shaped like a âUâ that is made up of a descending loop, an ascending limb, and a descending limb.
How a nephron makes urine. Blood entering the nephron is filtered through a cluster of capillaries called the glomerulus. The filtrate then enters the renal tubule, along which a complex process of secretion and reabsorption occurs.Useful substances such as glucose are reabsorbed; the acidity of the blood is regulated; and water levels are adjusted. The resulting fluid is called urine.rine is composed of unwanted substances that have been filtered from the blood by nephrons, the functional units of the kidneys. The urine formed in the kidneys passes through the ureters and is temporarily stored in the bladder.
