A set of 6 computer simulations (one tutorial - Water movement in the kidney - and 5 laboratory experiments - Glomerular capillary dynamics, Proximal tubular reabsorption, The distal nephron, The total nephron and Acid-base balance) that provide tutorial and laboratory experiment formats for teaching glomerular filtration, function of proximal and distal tubules, effects of hormones on the kidney, and acid-base control. A laboratory manual provides directions for student ‘experiments’
