I think I've said enough about that one.
-
Selective reabsorption happens in all
-
other elements of the tubules,
-
the proximal, the Loop of Henle, and the distal convoluted tubule.
-
How does selective reabsorption happen?
-
It happens by the physical processes of diffusion
-
or just the movement of molecules down concentration gradients,
-
and it also happens by active transport.
-
We talked about active transport earlier.
-
We talked--for example when we were talking about the action potential,
-
we talked about this active transport system
-
that's able to shuttle sodium and potassium molecules across membranes.
