Describe the process of selective reabsorption and the parts of the nephron used (9)

Reuptakes useful materials from filtrate in the convoluted tubes reabsorbs ions, amino acids, glucose, H2O, hormones, vitamins the tubule has: microvilli: increase SA for absorption from filtrate single cell thick and tight junction = thin surface Lots of mitochondria: active transport Substances are actively transported across the apical membrane and then passively diffuse across basolateral membrane Ions + vitamins = actively transported w protein pumps + carrier proteins Glucose + amino acids co transported across apical w Na+ (symport) water follows the movement of ions passively w osmosis
