Synopsis

The complexities of renal function can be a challenge for medical and allied health students to learn and for professors to teach. To make the teaching and learning process easier for both parties, Bucket Diagrams was developed as a study guide. Each section is prefaced with learning objectives and includes a detailed explanation of the concepts being covered. The examples provided in each section test the student's ability to achieve these objectives and to understand the concepts. The book is divided into the following sections: Basic Rules, General Concepts, Glomerular Capillary Filtration, Insulin Excretion, PAH Excretion, Glucose Excretion, Urine Concentrating Mechanisms, Body Fluids, Corrections Section, and Self-Test Questions and Answers. Bucket Diagrams were first developed as a teaching aid in a comparative animal physiology course. The name "bucket diagram" was supplied by an unknown student in medical physiology. Despite being unsophisticated, it is descriptive and unforgettable.
