2.1.7. Explain why water is reabsorbed passively at the proximal convoluted tubule​

Sagot :

Answer:

The proximal tubules reabsorb about 65% of water, sodium, potassium and chloride, 100% of glucose, 100% amino acids, and 85-90% of bicarbonate. This reabsorption occurs due to the presence of channels on the basolateral (facing the interstitium) and apical membranes (facing the tubular lumen).
