Clutches and Bands in an Automatic Transmission. In the last section, we discussed how each of the gear ratios is created by the transmission. For instance, when we discussed overdrive, we said:
Materials move in opposite directions: reabsorption moves materials into the blood, whereas secretion removes them from the blood. Blood pressure in the glomerulus is _______ than in other capillaries due to the relatively large diameter of ________ arterioles. higher; afferent.
Filtration involves the transfer of soluble components, such as water and waste, from the blood into the glomerulus. Reabsorption involves the absorption of molecules, ions, and water that are necessary for the body to maintain homeostasis from the glomerular filtrate back into the blood.
