1. What is the purpose of reabsorption in the kidney tubule? 2. Reabsorption is the movement of water and valuable solutes from the filtrate in the renal tubules into the blood. - In which part of the renal tubule does this take place? - In which part of the renal tubules does most of it take place? 3. Compare and contrast reabsorption and secretion for the following items: Reabsorption Secretion Where does it take place in the renal tubule? What substances undergo it? What is its primary function? Where are the substances moved to? Short and sweet answer, please.

The structural and functional units of kidneys Nephron Responsible for forming urine Excretory system or nephron: Develop from metanephros Glomerulus (tuft of capillaries) Glomerular (Bowman's) capsule Proximal convoluted tubules Loop of Henle Distal convoluted tubules Collecting tubules Calyces (Minor -> Major) Renal Pelvis Ureter Proximal tubule Cortex Connecting tubule Distal tubule Bowman's capsule Macula densa Cortical collecting tubule Loop of Henle: Thick segment of ascending limb Thin segment of ascending limb Medulla Medullary collecting tubule Descending limb Collecting duct
