selective reabsorption

Question 1

where does selective reabsorption take place?

Answer 1

selective reabsoption takes place at the pct, loop of henle, dct and collecting duct

Question 2

how does selective reabsorption take place?

Answer 2

ions are partially selective reabsorbed via active transport and diffusion, along the nephron. small molecules are reabsorbed via active transport along the pct. water is selectively reabsorbed via osmosis along the nephron. urea is not reabsorbed in large amounts. loop of henle aids in the reabsorbeption of water, the longer the loop of henle, the larger ampunt of water that can be reabsorbed. the dct reabsorbs water and mineral ions into the blood
