Water is reabsorbed from the proximal convolutions by which process?
|
|
diffusion
|
|
|
active transport
|
|
|
osmosis
|
|
|
facilitated diffusion
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In loop of Henle, water is reabsorbed by the process of osmosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water is reabsorbed by a process called osmosis; the diffusion of water from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is a segment of the renal tubule responsible for the reabsorption and secretion of various solutes and water. The PCT is located in the renal cortex, the outer part of the kidney, and is the first segment of the renal tubule, where it receives the filtrate from the renal corpuscle.
