Questions from Mary Jones, Richard Fosbery, Dennis Taylor and, Jennifer Gregory Solutions for Chapter: Homeostasis, Exercise 5: Questions with Hints & Solutions
What solutes blood contains that are not present in the glomerular filtrate?
How reabsorption of water from the proximal convoluted tubule takes place?
State the name of the process by which water is reabsorbed.
Calculate the volume of filtrate that enters the loops of Henle from the proximal convoluted tubules each minute.
Although almost half of the urea in the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule, the concentration of urea in the fluid in the nephron actually increases as it passes along the proximal convoluted tubule. Explain why this is so.
Explain how each of this feature of the cells in the proximal convoluted tubules adapts them for the reabsorption of solutes:
microvilli
Explain how each of these features of the cells in the proximal convoluted tubules adapts them for the reabsorption of solutes:
many mitochondria
Explain how each of these features of the cells in the proximal convoluted tubules adapts them for the reabsorption of solutes:
folded basal membranes.
