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.
Once fluid enters the proximal convoluted tubule?
+
Reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the?
The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the proximal convoluted tubule. It is found in the nephrons of the kidney.
What is the highly coiled structure that is close to the nephron?
That is proximal convoluted tubule.
Why proximal convoluted tubule is twisted?
to increase the surface area for reabsorbtion
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.
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.
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.
Is creatinine reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule?
no
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.
Once fluid enters the proximal convoluted tubule?
+
What are the parts of a nephron in order?
distal convoluted tubule, glomerulus, loop of henle, bowmans capsule, proximal convoluted tubule
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.
What happens to glucose if it is not reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule?
it pass through the next tubule
