In what portion of the nephron is most of the $\mathrm{NaCl}$ and water reabsorbed from the filtrate?
How much of the filtered sodium is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule? (Express the answer on a percent basis and show calculations). What happens to the sodium that is reabsorbed (describe the mechanisms involved)? Sodium absorbed in PT/sodium entering PT = (3322 mM/mm + 6569 mM/mm) / 16383 mM/mm = 0.6037 * 100 = 60.37% reabsorbed sodium returns to circulation. What are the functions of sodium reabsorption other than the solute gradient to draw water out/sodium symporters for essential solutes?
