The regulation of pH of the filtrate is what occurs in the proximal tubule. The regulation occurs by exchanging hydrogen ions for bicarbonate ions. The proximal tubule is part of the duct system of the kidney.

In the kidneys the largest volume of water reabsorption occurs in the?

The largest volume of water reabsorption in the kidneys occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule. This is the first segment of the renal tubule where approximately 65-70% of the filtered water is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.


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.


In the kidney where does most 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.


Where does the reabsorption of glucose primarily occur in the kidneys?

The reabsorption of glucose primarily occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron in the kidney. Glucose is filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus, and then most of it is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream in the proximal convoluted tubule to prevent its loss in the urine.


What is removed at the proximal convoluted tubule?

At the proximal convoluted tubule, reabsorption of water, glucose, amino acids, and ions (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride) from the filtrate back into the bloodstream occurs. Waste products and toxins are also secreted into the tubule for excretion in the urine.


What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?

The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.


Where does sodium get reabsorbed?

Sodium is primarily reabsorbed in the kidneys, specifically in the proximal tubule and the thick ascending loop of Henle. Around 67-70% of sodium reabsorption occurs in the proximal tubule, while the remaining 25-30% occurs in the thick ascending loop of Henle.


Where does selective reabsorption of glucose takes place in the nephron?

Selective reabsorption of glucose occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. Glucose is filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus, and then reabsorbed back into the blood through the walls of the proximal convoluted tubule.


What part of the nephron drains into the loop of henle?

The proximal convoluted tubule drains into the loop of Henle.


Where does most absorption take place in the kidney?

What are the subdivisons of the renal tubule?

Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
