Renal Tubules, drugs Flashcards
Reabsorbs 67% of fluid and electrolytes filtered by glomerulus
Proximal Tubule
concentrates urine
collecting duct
site of secretion of organic anions and cations
proximal tubule
always impermeable to water
thick ascending limb
permeable to water only in presence of ADH
late distal tubule, collecting duct
Site of Na/K/2CL cotransporter
thick ascending limb
site of isotonic fluid reabsorption
proximal tubule
site responsible for diluting urine
thick ascending limb
site where glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed
proximal tubule
water reabsorption in loop of Henle
thin descending limb
