Question
Chapter 24.5, Problem 3QC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The substances that are reabsorbed from the proximal tubule and also comment upon those substances that are reabsorbed using the sodium ion gradient.
Introduction:
Cells of the proximal tubule consist of permanent microvilli that increase the surface area. They increase the process of reabsorption that occurs in this part of the renal tubule. Thus, during the process of reabsorption, the proximal tubule is the most active region as many different types of filtrates are reabsorbed in this section.
