the nephrons produce approx 150 litres of glomerular filtrate per day 99% of which is reabsorbed to leave an average of 1.5litres of urine.

Which mechanisms reabsorb solutes from the glomerular filtrate?
Around 60-70% of the Glomerular Filtrate is reabsorbed in the proximal tube.
Proteins of smaller molecular size may be reabsorbed from the glomerular filtrate by the process of?
endocytosis
What is glomerular filtrate?
Glomerular filtration rate is the rate at which fluid is filtered by the kidneys. The normal rate for humans is 125mL/min or 180L/day. The fluid that is filtered (and not reabsorbed later) is excreted as urine.
Which substances present in the glomerular filtrate but not normally in urine?
glucose and amino acids, because they are selectively reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule.
Is plasma isotonic to glomerular filtrate?
yes.....glomerular filtrate is isotonic to plasma
What structure reabsorbs the most glomerular filtrate?
The proximal convoluted tubule. It reabsorbs almost 99% of the glomerular filtrate.
Why is glucose present in the glomerular filtrate but absent in the urine?
Glucose is absorbed in the nephron of the kidney, if it is present in very high amounts or unable to be reabsorbed, like with diabetes, it will be present in urine.
What would be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
protein
What would only be found in the glomerular filtrate if the glomerular membrane were damaged?
Protein
What percentage of filtrate is reabsorbed?
99%
Glomerular filtrate is very similar to?
plasma
What region of the kidney you would find glomerular capsules?
The bowman's capsule collects the filtrate and it enters the tubules. All glucose is reabsorbed immediately into the blood capillaries. As the rest of the filtrate travels through the tubules water and salts needed by the body are reabsorbed into the blood capillaries.yo yo
