Fortunately, tubular reabsorption mechanisms in the nephrons of your kidneys return the water and solutes that you need back into your extracellular fluid and circulatory system.

Tubular reabsorption is the process by which solutes and water are removed from the tubular fluid and transported into the blood. Proper function of the kidney requires that it receives and …

The following video provides a summary of tubular reabsorption in the various areas of the nephron. It is highly encouraged that you watch this video to further solidify your knowledge on …

In renal physiology, reabsorption, more specifically tubular reabsorption, is the process by which the nephron recovers water and solutes from the tubular fluid (pre-urine) and returns them to …

Various portions of the nephron differ in their capacity to reabsorb water and specific solutes. While much of the reabsorption and secretion occur passively based on concentration …

Tubular reabsorption occurs when the kidneys reabsorb useful substances, such as glucose, amino acids, and electrolytes, from the filtrate back into the bloodstream.

Obligatory reabsorption of water occurs as water follows solutes. All of the water reabsorption from the filtrate occurs because of osmosis, so as solutes are reabsorbed, water is “obliged” to …

Tubular reabsorption is the process where the body reclaims vital substances that were initially filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus. This selective recovery moves water, glucose, …

With up to 180 liters per day passing through the nephrons of the kidney, it is quite obvious that most of that fluid and its contents must be reabsorbed. Recall that substances that need to be …

Tubular reabsorption is the process by which substances filtered from the blood in the glomeruli are selectively reabsorbed back into the bloodstream as the filtrate passes through the renal …
