  • Reabsorption involves active and passive transport.
  • Na+ is actively pumped out of the nephron by a membrane protein.
  • Cl- moves by passively through electrochemical attraction.
  • Glucose and amino acids are transported actively.
  • Reabsorption sets up an osmotic gradient, with a hypertonic solution outside the nephron.
  • Water will move out of the nephron passively through membrane proteins called aquaporins.
  • Most of the water reabsorption occurs in the proximal convoluted tube.
  • More water is removed in the descending loop of Henle.
  • Reabsorption requires hormone ADH-antidiuretic hormone.
  • Reabsorption location is the proximal tube, with substances transported include Na+, K+, water, and Cl-.
  • In the descending limb of the loop of Henle, NaCl is transported passively and actively.
  • In the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, NaCl is transported passively and actively.
  • In the distal tubule, substances transported include NaCl, H2O, HCO3-, K+, and H+, with some molecules moving from the peritubular capillaries and interstitial fluid into the distal tube of the nephron.
  • Secretion involves some molecules moving from the peritubular capillaries and interstitial fluid into the distal tube of the nephron, including N-containing waste (ammonia), H+ ions (involved in pH balancing), and some pharmaceuticals.
  • Control of water balance involves hormone ADH-antidiuretic hormone, made in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland, which acts on the kidneys to maintain water balance.
  • ADH increases the permeability of the proximal convoluted tube, leading to more water being reabsorbed back into the blood.
  • Diuretics increase urine production.
  • Caffeine inhibits Na+ reabsorption, leading to less osmosis and more urine.
  • Alcohol inhibits ADH, lowering permeability and leading to more water in urine.
  • Whta does reabsorpition involve: active (requires ATP) and passive transport
    • Na + is actively pumped (membrane protein)
    • Cl – moves by passively by electrochemical attraction
    • Glucose and amino acids (active)
    • Sets up an osmotic gradient 
    • Hypertonic solution outside the nephron
    • Water will move out of the nephron passively through membrane proteins called aquaporins
    • most of the water reabsorption occurs in the proximal convoluted tube
    • More water is removed in the descending loop of Henle
    • Requires hormone ADH-antidiuretic hormone
  • Glucose -> active transport -> out of neuphron
  • cations (Na+,K+) -> active -> out of neuphron
  • water -> osmosis -> out of neuphron
  • anions (Cl-) -> passive -> out of neuphron
  • water ->passive->out of neuphron
  • NaCl->Passive and active->OUT OF NEPHRON
