The kidney’s filtration process explained in 3D | Part 1
Did you know your kidneys are your body’s natural filters? They work non-stop to keep you healthy by filtering blood and creating urine. But how do they do it? Each nephron contains a glomerulus—a tiny cluster of capillaries surrounded by the Bowman’s capsule. Here, blood plasma is filtered to create primary urine. The endothelium of the glomerulus has tiny openings that allow water and small solutes to pass through easily, while podocytes (special cells) prevent important molecules from escaping. The primary urine then moves into the renal tubules, where the magic of reabsorption begins. 📌 Check out VOKA 3D Anatomy & Pathology! #kidneyanatomy #nephron #renalcorpuscle #anatomy #anatomy3d #3danatomy #medstudents #medicalstudents #humanbody

NCLEX Tip: Atrial Fibrillation vs. Atrial Flutter
Let's review some key differences between atrial fibrillation vs. atrial flutter... 💓 AFib 🩺: ⚡ Atria receive chaotic, disorganized impulses ⚡ Atrial rate: >400 beats/min (too fast to count!) ⚡ Irregularly irregular rhythm (R-R intervals vary) ⚡ No visible P waves ⚡ Ventricular response rate varies AFlutter 🩺: ⚡ Organized electrical activity ⚡ Atrial rate: 200-350 beats/min ⚡ Regular atrial rhythm (AV node conducts every 2-3 impulses) ⚡ No P waves, but look for the saw-tooth flutter pattern 👉 These arrhythmias are different, but equally important to recognize in nursing school and on the Next Gen NCLEX. 📌 Save this chart to study the differences and send it to a study buddy who needs to see it! ✨
