The Proximal Convoluted Tubules (PCT). The brush border cells of the PCT increase the cell's suface, which then helps with reabsorption.

Where does obligatory water reabsorption occur?
Between tubular elements and vascular elements of the nephron beginnings with the proximal convoluted tubule and continuing at least part way into the distal tubule.
What is the part of the renal tubule function is filtration of blood?
renal cortex
Where does water reabsorption occur?
Between tubular elements and vascular elements of the nephron beginnings with the proximal convoluted tubule and continuing at least part way into the distal tubule.
Which regions of the nephron function independently of hormonal control for the most part?
Renal corpuscle, proximal tubule, and loop of Henle.
Which part of the nephron is under the control of the hormones ADH and aldosterone?
ADH increases water reabsorption in the collecting ducts Aldosterone works on the distal convoluted tubule and leads to increased blood pressure.
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 obligatory water reabsorption occur?
Between tubular elements and vascular elements of the nephron beginnings with the proximal convoluted tubule and continuing at least part way into the distal tubule.
What is the part of the renal tubule function is filtration of blood?
renal cortex
Where is the primary site at which tubular secretion occur?
Tubular secretion is a part of urine formation occurring within the nephrons of the kidneys. After glomerular filtration, in which fluids from the blood pass into the glomerular capsule of the renal tubule, the filtrate is subject to tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion within the convoluted tubules and collecting ducts of the nephrons.
What part of the renal tubule filters blood?
The renal glomeruli filters the blood in the kidneys
What are nephrons made up of?
Each one consists of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule which carry out the functions of the nephron. The renal tubule consists of the convoluted tubule and the loop of Heinle http://coe.fgcu.edu/Faculty/GreeneP/kidney/nephron.html.
Where does water reabsorption occur?
Between tubular elements and vascular elements of the nephron beginnings with the proximal convoluted tubule and continuing at least part way into the distal tubule.
Which part of the kidney is reabsorption dependent upon the body's needs at the time and regulated by hormones?
Distal convoluted tubule
Where does most reabsorption occur in the kidney?
The proximal tubule is the site of most reabsorption via glucose transporters (reabsorb 100% of glucose in healthy individuals), approx. 65% Sodium and various other solutes are also reabsorbed.
What are the three steps of urine formation and in what part of the nephron does each occur?
Urine formation and the adjustment of blood composition involve three major processes: glomerular filtration by the glomeruli, and tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion in the renal tubules. In addition, the collecting ducts work in concert with the nephrons to concentrate or dilute the urine..Functions of the nephrons include filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. Via these functional processes, the kidneys regulate the volume, composition, and pH of the blood, and eliminate nitrogenous metabolic wastes.
Which regions of the nephron function independently of hormonal control for the most part?
Renal corpuscle, proximal tubule, and loop of Henle.
