Question
Chapter 23.4, Problem 4AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
How tubular reabsorption is limited by the transport maximum (Tm); how this relates to glycosuria in diabetes mellitus.
Introduction:
In the whole of the glomerular filtrate, about 65% are reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule. The proximal convoluted tubule removes wastes present in the blood and excretes them through the urine. Due to the presence of microvilli (its greater length), the proximal convoluted tubule has the benefits of increasing its surface area for absorption. Proximal convoluted tubule cells are equipped with a rich source of large mitochondria that produce ATP, which supports active transport. Of all the calories that are consumed in a day, only 6% of ATP is needed by the proximal convoluted tubule.

true or false
Aldosterone is required to restore water from loop of Henle, and reabsorption of Na+ from this segment is increased by ADH, allowing equilibration of water with the hyperosmotic interstitium
Renal tubules cannot reabsorb HCO3–; yet HCO3–concentration in the tubular fluid falls while in the blood plasma itrises. Explain this apparent contradiction.
The reabsorption of water, Cl–, and glucose by the PCT islinked to the reabsorption of Na+, but in three very different ways. Contrast these three mechanisms
