Q

how is sodium reabsorbed

A

goes down it’s gradient into proximal tubule, Na-H antiporter moves Na out of lumen.

Q

why does a person with a very high blood glucose have high urine volume

A

transport max is reached and glucose spills into urine. Glucose is osmotically active, keeps Na and thus water in the urine
