Reabsorption and Secretion in the Distal Convoluted Tubule Approximately 80 percent of filtered water has been recovered by the time the dilute filtrate enters the distal convoluted tubule. What is normally found in filtrate? This allows fluid from blood to accumulate as filtrate in surrounding Bowman’s capsule. Glomerular filtrate containsRead More →
Filtration is the mass movement of water and solutes from plasma to the renal tubule that occurs in the renal corpuscle. About 20% of the plasma volume passing through the glomerulus at any given time is filtered. In which part of the nephron is the initial filtrate formed? These filterableRead More →
About 50 g of urea are filtered per day, of which approximately 25–40 g are excreted in the urine. … Urea is freely filtered, 50% are reabsorbed in the proximal tubule with the reabsorption of water (solvent drag). Is sodium reabsorbed from filtrate? As sodium, chloride and water are reabsorbedRead More →
