Chapter 24, Problem 11CYR

Mark the following statements as true or false. If a statement is false, correct it to make a true statement.

a. Sodium ions and glucose are cotransported into the proximal tubule cell by secondary active transport.

b. The distal tubule reabsorbs sodium ions and secretes potassium and hydrogen ions in response to ADH.

c. Sodium ion reabsorption creates a gradient that helps drive the reabsorption of water and many other solutes from the proximal tubule.

d. ADH triggers water reabsorption from the nephron loop.

e. Obligatory water reabsorption occurs in the distal tubule and collecting system.
