Abstract
The authors opinions in physiology books are different on some issues, and this mixes up the readers. The purpose of this article is to clarify the differences between two examples in renal physiology (the autoregulation and the reabsorption of the materials in the proximal tubule) to help better understand; therefore, this paper is especially beneficial for medical students. The latest editions of several physiology books are used in this study including Brenner and Rector›s “The Kidney”, Seldin and Giebisch’s “The Kidney Physiology and Pathophysiology”, Koeppen Stanton›s “Renal Physiology”, Vander’s “Renal Physiology”, Boron’s “Medical Physiology”, Ganong’s “Review of Medical Physiology”, Rose’s “Clinical Physiology of Acid-Base and Electrolyte Disorders”, “Renal Pathophysiology: the Essentials” by Rennke and Denker, “Color Atlas of Physiology”, “Renal Physiology: a Clinical Approach”, and “Medical Physiology” by Guyton. It is concluded that the two above-said methods, in general, adopt similar approaches. However, there are some differences in terms of details that are explained and clarified in this study.
