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.
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
Which section of the nephron performs MOST of the glucose and water reabsorption?
proximal convoluted tubule
What is the main function of the proximal convoluted tubules in urine formation?
reabsorption of most of the required substances from the filtrate
What is the main function of the proximal convoluted tubules in urine formation?
reabsorption of most of the required substances from the filtrate
Where in the kidneys does the filtering takes place?
Within the nephron (the functional unit of the kidneys), filtration occurs in the glomerolus. The filtered fluid is called filtrate. Reabsorption of filtrate occurs in a few places within the nephron, however, the majority of reabsorption takes place in the proximal convoluted tube. It is important to mention that additional reabsorption occurs in the Loop of Henle, distal convoluted tube, and the collecting ducts as well. Again, however, MOST reabsorption of filtrate from the glomerolus takes place in the proximal convoluted tube of the nephron.
Which part of the kidney is reabsorption dependent upon the body's needs at the time and regulated by hormones?
Distal convoluted tubule
What part of the renal tubule does reabsorption occur?
The Proximal Convoluted Tubules (PCT). The brush border cells of the PCT increase the cell's suface, which then helps with reabsorption.
Is coffee an antidiuretic?
Coffee is a diuretic. It decreases the reabsorption of water at the proximal convoluted tubule in the nephrons in the kidney. This makes there more water present in the urine.
