Q

How is the driving force for osmotic reabsorption of water across the proximal tubule established?

Q

How does the movement of solutes across the proximal tubule membranes affect osmosis?

A

It increases osmolarity on the basolateral side, favoring water transport to that side.

Q

What is an important consequence of osmotic water flow in the proximal tubule regarding potassium and calcium ions?

A

They are entrained in the reabsorbed fluid and thereby reabsorbed by the process of solvent drag.

Q

What are the 3 routes of water transport across the proximal tubule?

A
  1. solutes and water reabsorbed across apical membrane
    And then 2 paths:
  2. solute and water cross the lateral cell membrane.
  3. remainder enters interstitial space and flows into capillary.
