In order to maintain homeostasis (body water volume, plasma Na*) it is important to regulate Na* and water balance. First, identify the regions of the nephron that are permeable to Na* and H20. Second, tie together the epithelial transport mechanisms for Na* and H20 reabsorption and an idea of the magnitude of reabsorption from each nephron region. Hint: refer to the figure at the end of the Renal Processes lecture to help with context. 4. Review how urine is concentrated throughout the nephron (and the role of Na*, urea).arrow_forward
