- Reabsorption of sodium - Secretion of potassium - Secretion of hydrogen ions
Added by Concepci-N M.
Step 1
- Sodium ions are actively transported out of the tubular fluid and into the blood through sodium-potassium pumps located on the basolateral membrane of the tubule cells. - This process creates a concentration gradient that drives passive reabsorption of sodium Show more…
