Where does most reabsorption occur in the kidney?

Answer 1

The proximal tubule is the site of most reabsorption via glucose transporters (reabsorb 100% of glucose in healthy individuals), approx. 65% Sodium and various other solutes are also reabsorbed.

Answer 2

I am assuming you want to know which part of the nephron? If I am incorrect in assuming I apologize.

The Glomerulus (a mass/ball of capillaries= Waste products are removed from the blood, thus the formation of urine has begun.

The Bowman's Capsule = Waste products move from the Glomerulus to this location

The Renal Tubules (divided into 3 parts/sections= Re-absorption of waste products needed by the body to maintain homeostasis occurs here.

1. The proximal convoluted tubule

2. The Loop of Henle

3. The distal convoluted tubule

The Collecting Duct- Empties the remaining waste products, Urine (what was not reabsorbed at the Renal Tubules) empties out into the kidney via the collecting duct.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Reabsorption in a nephron occurs in the Loop of Henle
Reabsorption has been addressed to substances which are absorbed back from the nerphrone back in to the blood(capillaries). On other hand Secretion is the absorption of substances from blood.

Renal Corpsicule - water, solute filtration

Proximal Convoluted Tubule- Reabsorption of water, glucose, amino acids and some minerals. Secretion for H, Ammonia, Urea and Creatinine

Loop of Henle - Reabsoprtion of water and minerals, secretion of Urea.

Early Part of Distal Convoluted Tubule -Reabsorption of water, Na, Cl, Ca.

Last Part of Distal Convoluted Tubule -Reabsorption of water, Na, HCO3 and urea. Secretionof K and H ions.

Reabsorbed material returns back into blood circulation but secretion products become part of urine.
renal corpuscle

Answer 4

Reabsorption takes place inside the kidneys where small units called "Nephrons" are present. These nephrons are made up of -

Bowman's Capsule

PCT - Proximal Convulated Tubule

Loop Of Henle

DCT - Distal Convulated Tubule

The Loop Of Henle is the site for reabsorption.

Answer 5

The collecting tubules within the nephron (functional unit of kidney)
