What happens if the reabsorption of sodium by the renal tubule is inhibited?
reabsorption of water by renal tubule decreases
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.
What is the function of tubular reabsorption?
Tubular reabsorption is the movement of filtrate from renal tubules back into blood in response to the body's specific needs.
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.
When blood pressure decrease to promote the reabsorption of water is?
the renal hormonesecreted by the hypothalmus when blood pressure decrease to promote the reabsorption of water is
What ion cation do most diuretics work by blocking the renal reabsorption?
Potassium
What are the three stages of production?
1.glomerular filtration by the glomeruli2.tubular reabsorption by the renal tubules3.tubular secretion by the renal tubules
When you remove the renal capsule from a kidney what portion of the kidney becomes clearly visible?
When the renal capsule is removed from a kidney, the outer layer known as the cortex becomes clearly visible. The cortex is the region of the kidney that contains the renal corpuscles and the convoluted tubules where filtration and reabsorption occur in the process of urine formation.
What is passive reabsorption?
Passive reabsorption is a product of osmosis. Some parts of the renal to our very permeable to water and ions, and occurs through the junctions between cells.
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.
What does a renal clearance test so?
An adaptation of the epithelial cells of the proximal civilities tubule for reabsorption is
Most electrolyte reabsorption by the renal tubes?
Tubular reabsorption takes place in the kidneys. It specifically occurs in nephrons, microscopic tubular structures (Proximal Convoluted Tubule-PRIMARY & Distal Convoluted tubule-SECONDARY) of the kidney that number in the millions.
