Статья. Опубликована в журнале: Annual review of physiology, 1967, Т. 29, No. 1. – С. 169-196. Until a decade ago research on invertebrate excretory organs was confined almost entirely to their roles in producing the adaptive responses required for a nutritional regimen, an activity pattern, and especially an osmotic milieu. But the processes by which urine was produced from blood received virtually no attention. Until 1940 analyses of renal processes existed in only a handful of papers: one on the structure and function of the crayfish antennal gland, one on filtration in mollusks, and four on tubular and rectal structure and function in insects. Ten years later, exactly two more had been added: an analysis of tubular fluid composition in the earthworm nephridium, and an analysis of the "filtrate" formed by the clam. All have become classics, referred to in nearly every survey of invertebrate excretion, but the list is pitiful when compared with a single year's output on the mammalian kidney. One outcome was that many questions could be formulated about renal mechanisms in the invertebrates, but few could be answered. Martin's review coincided with the end of this period. Intensi
