Renal tubules

Early proximal convoluted tubule—“workhorse of the nephron” Reabsorbs all of the glucose, inorganic phosphate, Cl, lactate and amino acids and most of the bicarbonate, sodium, and water. Secretes ammonia, which acts as a buffer for secreted H+ .

2 Thin descending loop of Henle Passively reabsorbs water via medullary hypertonicity (impermeable to sodium.

3 Thick ascending loop of Henle Actively reabsorbs Na+, Mg2+ and Ca2+; impermeable to H2OQ, H+ and K+ extrusion occurs.

4 Early distal of convuluted tubule actively reabsorbs Na+, Cl- reabsorption of Ca2+ is under the control of PTH. K+ secretion occurs.Q

5 Collecting tubules reabsorb Na+ in exchange for secreting K+ or H+ (regulated by aldosterone. Reabsorption of water is regulated by ADH (vasopressor), osmolarity of medulla can reach 1200–1400 mOsm.Q
