-
there's pumps here, there's pumps here.
-
So, any molecules of sodium that enter this side
-
get efficiently pumped out through the other side.
-
The net effect of these two processes,
-
diffusion on this boundary and active transport on this boundary,
-
is that sodium molecules move from inside the tube to outside the tube.
-
Now, if sodium concentration is high here where is it going to go?
-
Well, there are blood vessels up here
-
and they're going to reabsorb this sodium
-
just by simple diffusion processes as well,
-
so blood that's flowing through this region
-
is going to take all the extra sodium away.
