Name the process by which molecules move from the proximal convoluted tubule into the blood?
Tubular reabsorption
Summarize reabsorption in the proximal tubule?
Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into the blood by active and passive transport.
Which section of the nephron performs MOST of the glucose and water reabsorption?
proximal convoluted tubule
Where does glucose take place?
Glucose reabsorption takes place in the proximal renal tubule. This tubule is a portion of the nephron that contains fluid. The functions of the nephron include the reabsorption and secretion of various substances like ions, glucose, and amino acids.
What are the similarities between the distal tubule and the proximal tubule?
- proximal tubule : • Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into blood by active and passive transport. • Within proximal tubule, pH is controlled by secretion of hydrogen ions (H1) and reabsorption of bicarbonate ions (HCO32). - distal tubule • Selective reabsorption of nutrients from blood into nephron by active transport. Distal tubule helps regulate potassium (K1) and salt (NaCl) concentration of body fluids. • As in proximal tubule, pH is controlled by tubular secretion of hydrogen ions (H1) and reabsorption of bicarbonate ions (HCO32).
What part of the renal tubule has an elaborate countercurrent mechanism for reabsorption of sodium and water?
A part of the tubule called the Loop of Henle is involved in the reabsorption of sodium and therefore water.
Where does reabsorption primarily occur in the urinary system?
Proximal tubule
Mechanisms of tubular reabsorption include what?
Reabsorption of nutrients in the renal tubule occurs via active transport and facilitated diffusion. Amino acids, glucose and phosphates are reabsorbed at the proximal convoluted tubule via active transport. Water and sodium chloride is reabsorbed at the loop of henle via facilitated diffusion.
Where does glucose reabsorption occur in the nephron?
Glucose reabsorption takes place in the proximal renal tubule. This tubule is a portion of the nephron that contains fluid. The functions of the nephron include the reabsorption and secretion of various substances like ions, glucose, and amino acids.
Where does selective reabsorption takes place?
The proximal convoluted tubule
Reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the?
The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the proximal convoluted tubule. It is found in the nephrons of the kidney.
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
What hormone regulates sodium re absorption in the distal convoluted tubule?
Sodium and potassium levels are controlled by secreting K+ and absorbing Na+. Sodium absorption by the distal tubule is mediated by the hormone aldosterone. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption.
Where does Most electrolyte reabsorption by the renal tublues occur?
Proximal tubule
Name the process by which molecules move from the proximal convoluted tubule into the blood?
Tubular reabsorption
In the kidneys the largest volume of water reabsorption occurs in the?
proximal convoluted tubule
Summarize reabsorption in the proximal tubule?
Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into the blood by active and passive transport.
