absorption of more Na+ (if aldosterone present) and absorption of more water (if ADH is present)
What else can I help you with?
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
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
What histological feature distinguishes proximal convoluted tubule from a distal convoluted tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubules have brush borders or microvilli on the inner edge of the tubule. Distal convoluted tubules do not have this structure.
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.
Is the collecting duct the site that drains the distal convoluted tubule?
No, the collecting duct is the site where the filtrate from multiple nephrons is collected and the final adjustments to urine concentration are made. The distal convoluted tubule drains into the collecting duct.
What is finally reabsorbed in distal convoluted tubule?
Bicarbonate.
What are the parts of a nephron in order?
The parts of a nephron in order are the renal corpuscle (glomerulus and Bowman's capsule), proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.
What is the section of the renal tubule closest to the glomerular capsule?
The proximal convoluted tubule is closest to the glomerular capsule. The distal convoluted tubule is farther away.
Aldosterone acts on what part of the kidney?
Aldosterone acts on the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct in the kidney to increase sodium reabsorption and potassium secretion.
Is the collecting duct part of a nephron?
Distal Convoluted Tubule
Why does a decrease in the amount of sodium in the distal convoluted tubule lead to an increase in blood pressure?
Because this leads to an increase in renin production
