What are the 3 substances which are reabsorbed from the nephron in the blood?

1 answer:

5 0

The main substance re-absorbed into the blood in the nephron are glucose, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) and water.

Almost all the glucose is reabsorbed at the proximal tubule of the nephron. Sodium, potassium and chloride are reabsorbed at the ascending loop of Henle, and water is reabsorbed at the descending loop of Henle.

Other nutrients that are reabsorbed are magnesium, phosphates, carboxylate, bicarbonate, amino acids, some urea, proteins and oligopeptides.

Reabsorption occurs in two steps namely active or passive extraction of sustances from the fluid in the tubules of the nephron, and into the interstitium , then transport of these substances from interstitium and into the bloodstream.

Which statements about the Hubble Space Telescope are true?

ankoles [38]

<h2 /><h2> $Answer-$ </h2>

The Hubble Space Telescope (often referred to as HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope, but it is one of the largest and most versatile, renowned both as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy. The Hubble telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble and is one of NASA's Great Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (1991–2000), the Chandra X-ray Observatory (1999–present), and the Spitzer Space Telescope (2003–2020). The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) selects Hubble's targets and processes the resulting data, while the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) controls the spacecraft.
