-
That sodium concentration drops as you move through the proximal tubule
-
so a lot of that sodium is reabsorbed,
-
about two-thirds of it is reabsorbed in the proximal tubule.
-
Then, if I looked over the Loop of Henle in the descending loop,
-
the loop that goes down, actually sodium molecules come back in,
-
and then sodium molecules go back out in the ascending loop.
-
This has to do with the establishment of gradients of sodium
-
that I mentioned before in the interstitial space which allows the
-
kidney to--this represents those-- the sodium
-
that's used to create those gradients,
-
those gradients are used for water absorption.
-
Then, most of the rest of the kidney is--
