In renal physiology, reabsorption or tubular reabsorption is the process by which the nephron removes water and solutes from the tubular fluid (pre-urine) and returns them to the circulating blood.

The nephron is the microscopic structural and functional unit of the kidney. It is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule. The renal corpuscle consists of a tuft of capillaries called a glomerulus and an encompassing Bowman's capsule.

Your blood is made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts, and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

The net pressure that drives reabsorption—the movement of fluid from the interstitial fluid back into the capillaries—is called osmotic pressure (sometimes referred to as oncotic pressure). Whereas hydrostatic pressure forces fluid out of the capillary, osmotic pressure draws fluid back in.

Renal blood flow ( RBF ) is the volume of blood delivered to the kidneys per unit time. Renal plasma flow ( RPF ) is the volume of plasma delivered to the kidneys per unit time.

Renal secretion is different from reabsorption because it deals with filtering and cleaning substances from the blood, rather than retaining them. The substances that are secreted into the tubular fluid for removal from the body include: Potassium ions (K+) Hydrogen ions (H+)

The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts, and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells (RBC) deliver oxygen from your lungs to your tissues and organs.

With up to 180 liters per day passing through the nephrons of the kidney, it is quite obvious that most of that fluid and its contents must be reabsorbed. That recovery occurs in the PCT, loop of Henle, DCT, and the collecting ducts (Table 5 and Figure 1).

Potassium ion, sodium chloride, calcium ion, amino acids, glucose, bicarbonate ion and water are reabsorbed back into the blood stream. Any filtered amino acids and glucose are also reabsorbed back into the blood stream. Hydrogen ions, uric acid and drugs are secreted from the blood into the proximal convoluted tubule.

Reabsorption of water is hormonally controlled. Most of the water passing through the kidney is eliminated as urine. Normal filtrate contains a large amount of protein. The excretion of sodium ions is one of the mechanisms that maintains the pH balance of the blood.

The urinary system, also known as the renal system, produces, stores and eliminates urine, the fluid waste excreted by the kidneys. The kidneys make urine by filtering wastes and extra water from blood. Urine travels from the kidneys through two thin tubes called ureters and fills the bladder.

Sodium is actively pumped out, while potassium and chloride diffuse down their electrochemical gradients through channels in the tubule wall and into the bloodstream. The walls of the thick ascending limb are impermeable to water, so in this section of the nephron water is not reabsorbed along with sodium.

Sodium is the major cation of the extracellular fluid.

Urine Is 95% Water The nephrons of the kidneys process blood and create urine through a process of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.

Briefly, blood is collected in dry glass tubes or glass-coated plastic tubes and immediately softly centrifuged. Three layers are formed: a red blood cell (RBC) base at the bottom, acellular plasma (platelet-poor plasma (PPP)) as a supernatant, and a PRF clot in the middle (Fig.

The substance that remains in the collecting duct of the kidneys following reabsorption is better known as urine. ... Tubular secretion is the transfer of materials from peritubular capillaries to the renal tubular lumen and occurs mainly by active transport and passive diffusion.

The glomerulus is responsible for blood filtration and is composed of a tuft of capillaries whose endothelial cells are interconnected with specialized renal visceral epithelial cells, called podocytes, and with mesangial cells.
