Question

The active and passive, selective and non-selective renal reclamation processes in urine formation in which solutes are returned to peritubular capillaries is called?

a) Glomerular filtration
b) Tubular secretion
c) Tubular reabsorption
d) Loop of Henle function

Answer 1

Tubular reabsorption is the process in which solutes are returned to the peritubular capillaries in urine formation. It mainly occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule and the loop of Henle, and involves the reabsorption of filtered salts, water, and organic solutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tubular reabsorption is the active and passive, selective and non-selective renal reclamation process in urine formation where solutes are returned to the peritubular capillaries. It occurs mainly in the proximal convoluted tubule and the loop of Henle. In this process, about two-thirds of the filtered salts and water, as well as all of the filtered organic solutes, are reabsorbed from the filtrate by the blood in the peritubular capillaries.
