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).
Which section of the nephron performs MOST of the glucose and water reabsorption?
proximal convoluted tubule
Name the process by which molecules move from the proximal convoluted tubule into the blood?
Tubular reabsorption
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.
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.
Where does reabsorption primarily occur in the urinary system?
Proximal tubule
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
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.
In the kidneys the largest volume of water reabsorption occurs in the?
