Filtrate enters PCT isotonic to blood plasma, osmosis and facilitated diffusion occur, causing filtrate to become highly solute concentrated and hypertonic to blood plasma
Wall cell’s plasma membranes are water permeable (have aquaporins), water diffuses out of filtrate by osmosis and enters medulla, and are slightly permeable to Na+ and Cl- ions, slowly diffuse from medulla to filtrate by facilitated diffusion
