question
As filtrate passes through the nephron, the renal process of reabsorption describes
answer
the movement of water and solutes from the tubule lumen, into the interstitial space, and, finally, into the peritubular capillaries.
question
The maximum solute concentration refers to the amount of solutes
answer
in the interstitial space.
question
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) affects the permeability of
answer
the collecting duct.
question
ADH aids the reabsorption of
answer
water.
question
Predict Question: What will happen to the urine volume and concentration as the solute gradient in the interstitial space is increased?
answer
The urine volume will decrease and the concentration will increase.
question
Why is the solute concentration (mOsm) in the proximal tubule the same as in the blood?
answer
Because water and many plasma solutes filter into Bowman's capsule.
question
In the presence of ADH, what component of the tubule fluid moves out of the collecting duct and into the interstitial space?
answer
water.
question
Tubule fluid osmolarity will always be the greatest in which of these locations?
answer
the bottom of the loop of Henle.
question
Tubule fluid volume will always be the greatest in which of these locations?
answer
the proximal convoluted tubule.
question
Where does ADH directly alter the urine volume?
answer
in the collecting duct.
question
What happened to the urine concentration as the solute concentration in the interstitial space was increased? How well did the results compare to your prediction?
answer
As the solute concentration increased the urine concentration increased proportionally. The urine volume decreased as the solute and urine concentration increased. My prediction was the same.
question
What happened to the volume of urine as the solute concentration in the interstitial space was increased? How well did the results compare to your prediction?
answer
As the solute concentration increased the urine volume decreased, as my prediction stated.
question
What do you think would happen to urine volume if you did not add ADH to the collecting duct?
answer
The urine volume would increase if ADH was not added to the collecting duct. This is because the ADH work on the collecting ducts where the increase the permeability for water is increased, so less water is secreted into the urine, so urine becomes more concentrated.
question
Is most of the tubule filtrate reabsorbed into the body or excreted in urine? Explain.
answer
Yes , most of the filtrates is reabsorbed to maintain homeostasis.The filtrate that enters the proximal tubule is either reabsorbed or secreted. Glucose is reabsorbed mainly in the proximal tubule by GLUT 1 transport carriers. When all these are filled up, then the remaining glucose is secreted in the urine. Both sodium and potassium is filtrated and excessive amount of both is secreted in the urine. Urea is filtered and secreted in the urine. Water is added to the urine, when there is a high concentration in the body, and when there is a change of 1% in osmolality then ADH is added, to maintain the water balance in the body.
question
Can the reabsorption of solutes influence water reabsorption from the tubule fluid? Explain.
answer
When reabsorption of NaCl occur, then water follows, so other solutes may influence the water reabsorption by making more water follow out of the tubules with the NaCl making the urine concentration increase.
