What are the substances reabsorbed in distal convoluted tubule?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
When blood is filtered at the glomerulus (filter unit) of the kidney, some substances don't even make it into the nephron. These include proteins, which are simply too big to diffuse from the capillaries and across the Bowman's capsule. As for what substances are reabsorbed (by active transport) into the bloodstream from the nephron, these include glucose, which is too valuable to be lost in urine. Urea and other substances are lost in the urine.

In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
What is removed at the proximal convoluted tubule?
About 90 % of the fitered sodium chlorid in glomerulus is reabsorbed in proximal convoluted tubules.
Do secretion usually occur in the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting tubule?
No! Secretion is like ruin and excreting is a bal movement
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.
Where does secretion occur?
Tubular secretion occurs in the distal convoluted tubes. The secretion also happens in the collecting ducts and also in the proximal convoluted tubule.
What is finally reabsorbed in distal convoluted tubule?
Bicarbonate.
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
Which substances are normally secreted into the distal tubule?
The ions that are secreted by the distal convoluted tubule are potassium ions. These are secreted to better control the levels of potassium and sodium.
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 creatinine reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule?
no
The hormone ADH functions to promote water re-abdsorption through the wall of what in the kidney?
distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct.The distal convoluted tubule
What happens to glucose if it is not reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule?
it pass through the next 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 are the parts of a nephron in order?
distal convoluted tubule, glomerulus, loop of henle, bowmans capsule, proximal convoluted tubule
