In the proximal convoluted tubule are the Na K pumps located only on the apical sides of the epithelial membranes?
false
What is difference between PCT and DCT?
1.pct means proximal convulated tubule but dct is diastal convulated tubule.
What structural modification of certain tubule cells enhances their ability to reabsorb substances from the filtrate?
I'm assuming that the filtrate refered to is that of Bowman's capsule in the kidney. If so then ... The cuboidal cells of the proximal convoluted tubule have long microvilli (brush border) on their apical (inside) surface that dramatically increase the surface area for reabsorption from the filtrate.
What is the last portion of the renal tubule?
the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) tubule.
What is the last tubule in the nephron?
Proximal tubule
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
What are the components of the renal tubule as they are encountered by filtrate?
proximal continuous tubule loop of henle distal continuous tubule
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
Which structure is the first section of the nephron tubule into which the filtrate enters?
the proximal tubule
What structures drains into the collecting tubule?
which of the following structures drains into the collecting tubule
Where does reabsorption primarily occur in the urinary system?
Proximal tubule
