A. Functions of the Nephron
Write name of the part of the nephron that has the following function.
1. Reabsorption of an additional 15% of water by osmosis. Impermeable to solutes.
2. Hormones determine if urine is concentrated.
3. Filters blood and forms filtrate.
4. Reabsorption of majority of water and solutes from filtrate by active and passive
processes. Also secretion occurs here.
5. Reabsorption of more sodium, chloride, and about 10 to 15% more water.
6. Reabsorption of sodium and chloride decreases the osmolarity of filtrate. Nearly impermeable to water.
