Can reabsorbing of solutes influence the reabsorption of water from the tubule fluid?

Yes. The movement of solutes into peritubular capillaries decreases the solute concentration of the tubular fluid but
increases the solute concentration in the peritubular capillaries. As a result, water moves by osmosis into peritubular capillaries.

Where in the nephron does most solute reabsorption occur?
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
What happens if the reabsorption of sodium by the renal tubule is inhibited?
reabsorption of water by renal tubule decreases
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 in the nephron does most solute reabsorption occur?
Proximal Convoluted Tubule
What is the limiting factor for the reabsorption of most actively transported solutes in the proximal tubule?
the number of transport carriers in the luminal membrane
What happens if the reabsorption of sodium by the renal tubule is inhibited?
reabsorption of water by renal tubule decreases
Where does reabsorption primarily occur in the urinary system?
Proximal tubule
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 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.
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
