Describe what happens to most filtrate that enters the renal tubule
Added by Michael F.
Step 1
Step 1: As blood passes through the glomerulus, it undergoes filtration, where water, glucose, amino acids, and other small molecules are filtered out of the blood and into the renal tubule, forming the initial filtrate. Show more…

All plasma constituents filtered, secreted, and reabsorbed remain in the tubules and pass into the renal pelvis to be excreted as urine.

What happens to most of the water that passes from the blood into the kidneys by filtration? What happens to the rest of it?
is dependent on which causes interstitial fluid to be hypertonic to the filtrate. is a process in which useful, dissolved substances are moved from the filtrate into peritubular capillaries. takes place along all renal tubule locations, but most takes place in the proximal convoluted tubules. adds additional nitrogen-containing waste solutes, such as urea, into the filtrate. depends on the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). takes place across the walls of the glomeruli. may be controlled, in part, by the finger-like extensions of podocytes. is a process in which blood pressure forces water and some dissolved substances out of the blood into the glomerular capsule.
