Answer #1

ANSWER IS FALSE.

EXPLANATION- most of the filtrate is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron. the glomerulus capillaries are the network of capillaries in the bowmans capsule which filter the blood and absorbes all the waste materials and some ions and water that are needed to be excreted as to maintain normal osmolarity. Glomerular capillaries are the ones who produce the filtrate and when this filtrate is passed through the tubules of the nephron, the reabsorption takes place. (the capillaries which reabsorb from the PCT are called the peritubular capillaries)

almost 45 gallons of filtrate is produced everyday in adult humans but almost 99% of it is reabsorbed back into the blood stream.

As glomerular filtrate moves through the ascending Loop of Henle, the filtrate becomes more dilute. Why? Select one: a. The ascending loop of Henle is pumping out ions but impermeable to water b.

Anne wrote a paragraph on renal physiology. Her paragraph, in italics, is as follows: Glomerular filtration rate decreases when resistance in the afferent arterioles increases. In healthy individuals, water, solutes, and red blood cells are filtered into Bowman’s capsule. Most of the filtrate volume in Bowman’s capsule is then reabsorbed in descending limb of the loop of Henle. Reabsorption of K+ in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle is controlled by the hormone aldosterone. Once filtrate reaches the...
