In the nephron depicted above, what will happen if part B malfunctions so that substances can no longer diffuse in and out? Water will not be reabsorbed through the collecting ducts ADH will not be released into the bloodstream Fluid from the blood will not enter the nephron Useful substances will not be reabsorbed from the urine
@Rushwr
I think either A or D @Rushwr
Okai done ! Yeah okai what is the part shown by B ?
I attached an image. @Rushwr
above @Rushwr
yeah yeah I'm asking u the question! LOL What is the part B?
renal tube @Rushwr .
No -_- Part B is the proximal convoluted tubule !
oh my bad @Rushwr
Anyways so the function of the proximal convoluted tubules is reabsorbs 2/3 of the filtered Na and H2O It reabsorbs all of the glucose,and amino acids It also reabsorbs a some portion of the bicarbonate, potassium, phosphate and calcium It secretes ammonia and creatine
so d? @Rushwr
Nop A nah ? The water will not be reabsorbed if B malfunctions. I guess ! Let me give it more thoughts.
so your saying a? @Rushwr
100% sure?
Wait A is wrong cuz it says about collecting ducts. ! My bad I always read stuff half way
so which one would be correct? @Rushwr
