OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually, the function is a little more complex. in the main part, compounds like glucose, amino acids and electrolytes are resorbed. in the intermediate part, water is resorbed from the primary urine (else, you would pee about 180 liters a day!) in the tubulus distalis, NaCl is resorbed thorugh Na+ ion channels
