In the proximal tubule, about 65-70% of the filtrate is reabsorbed, mainly through the process of passive and active transport. In the loop of Henle, about 20% is further reabsorbed, while in the distal tubule and collecting duct, the final 10% of filtrate is reabsorbed, with the amount varying depending on the body's needs for water and electrolyte balance.

How much of the renal filtrate is reabsorbed?
Around 99% of the renal filtrate is reabsorbed by the kidneys, with only 1-2% being excreted as urine. This reabsorption occurs in various segments of the renal tubules, where essential substances like water, electrolytes, and nutrients are reclaimed from the filtrate and returned to the bloodstream.
How does urine differ from the original filtrate?
From the original filtrate, a lot of much needed electrolytes (Sodium e.t.c) are reabsorbed (absorbed back into blood), a few substances secreted further into the urine, then loads of water reabsorbed to fine tune body water to exactly how much you need(as much as possible), making urine far more concentrated than the original filtrate.
How much of the fluid that comprises filtrate is reabsorbtion into the bloodstream?
Most filtrate is reabsorbed. Remember, just about everything other than cells and large proteins is filtered into Bowman's capusle, and your body needs most of it, or else all you would have running through your blood are cells and proteins. The kidneys reabsorb most of the water, ions and nutrients in the filtrate.
What process occurs in the Bowman's capsule?
Bowmans capsule is part of the functioanl unit of the kidney called the nephron. The kidney job in the body is to filter blood and remove wastes via the urine. At the very start of each nephron is a very smalle blood network called the glomerulus. The diameter pf the vessel leaving the glomerulus (the efferent vessel) is smaller than that coming to the glomerulus (the afferent vessel) and so a large pressure occurs. This helps push the wastes as well as some nutrients and a lot of water out of the glomerulus. To stop if all just floating of into the body a a structue surround the glomerulus and takes up all the thing the glomerulus lets out. This is the glomerulus and it passes what it gets on through the vessels of the nephron where much is reabsorbed and the rest is excreted as urine.
Which of the following does not impact how much sodium is reabsorbed?
Transport maximum of the renal proximal tubule
What happens to glucose that enters the nephron wit the filtrate?
In most cases it is reabsorbed. It there is too much, it will be "spilled" into the urine.

How much filtrate is produced each day by a person?
70litres
Clinical significance of protein in urine?
If there is protein in urine, there is something wrong with the filtration process in the kidneys. Normally, proteins molecules that are too large to enter the filtrate in the nephron of the kidney. If protein were to make it into the filtrate, then the kidneys are taking too much out of the blood and that could be disasterous

How much water is reabsorbed by the large intestine each day?
60 billion gallons
Nephron tube where nutrients are reabsorbed?
The Nephron is the functional unit of the Kidney which regulates blood contents NOT urine contents. It works by filtering out much of the contents of the blood from the Glomerulus into Bowmans Capsule. From here the a long tubule projects and is followed by a blood vessel (the Efferent Capillary) which reabsorbs much of the nutriens, what isn't reabsorbed goes into the Urine via a Collecting Duct. There are three parts to the nephron, the Proximal Convoluted Tubule, the Loop of Henle and the Distal Convoluted Tubule. The loop of Henle is mostly involved in the reabsorbtion of water with the use of salts. The majority of nutrients reabsorbtion takes place is the proximal convoluted tubule. It should be noted that although the nephron is very efficient (it reabsorbs 90% of the water if need be) it also reabsorbs about 50% of the urea so it is incorrect to think that it all goes straight into the urine. In short, to answer you question, most nutrients are reabsorbed in the Proximal Convoluted Tubule.

What will happen if you use to much sperm?
They are reabsorbed by the body.
As blood enters the kidneys everything except what is filtered out?
The kidneys are concerned with urine production, which is done to to regulate the contents of the internal environment. The functional unit of the kidney is called the nephron. At the start of the nephron is a structure called Bowman capsure. This structure takes the filtrates out of the blood from a convoluted cappillary network called the glomerulus. Very much of the contents of the plasma is filtered, only leaving Red Blood Cells and plasma proteins which are both to big to be filtered. As the filtrate passes along the nephron most of its contents are removed back into the blood. The contorl of what is in the urinr comes mostly from this reabsorption, not the initial filtration, and it might be interesting to note that up to 50% of the urea is reabsorbed back into the blood not all goes into the urine. so in a nutshell ? can someone please make this more general ??? Plasma proteins, cells and platelets are too large to pass through the membrane; they remain in the blood. :D
How many liters of water can kidney filtrate each day?
What hold urine are not the kidneys, which have the vital function of filtering the blood through renal corpuscles which is composed of a glomerulus and the Bowman's capsule. The renal corpuscle (or Malphigian corpuscle) is the beginning of the nephron. It is the nephron's initial filtering component. The bladder holds the urine, and can't hold so much urine like liters. The normal capacity is 400 to 600 ml.
