Q

AA and glucose: are ________ and then _________
Organic acids/bases: rapidly _______
Main 3 end products that are excreted:

A

AA and glucose: are Filtered and then Reabsorbed Fully. remember together, because pissing glucose is mostly in diabetics.
Organic acids/bases: rapidly cleared (filtered and excreted)
Main 3 end products that are excreted: Urea, Uric Acid, Creatinine

This is why one of the kidney function calculations is called CrCl, or creatinine clearance.

The last thing part is rapid because if you both filter and secrete it, they both make up excretion.

A

Knowing which side you’re on is very important, aka brush/luminal vs basal/basement membrane. Sodium passively diffuses into tubular cells. But it is actively transported into the actual blood.
Essentially, pumping sodium into the blood means low concentration in the tubular cells. Therefore sodium passively diffuses across the brush border into the tubular cells.
