2.72 Water Re-absorption.


- the bowmans capsule (BC) - location of ultralfiltration
- the blood coming into the kidney (under high pressure) the dissolve content of the blood are forced into the bowmans capsule tube, (glumerula filtrate- containing glucose, water, salts and urea)
- when the filtration occurs it will filter out too much water and as the filtrate passes along the tubal and when it reaches the collecting duct, water is removed from the filtrate and the water is return back to the blood vessel/stream
- water has been selected and has been reabsorbed into the blood
-selected reabsorption of water occurring into the collecting duct
