- ADH- Anti Diuretic Hormone.
- It flows through the blood stream to the kidneys.
- It is produced in the region of the brain known as the hypothalamus.
- It controls the amount of water in the blood.
- Tissue fluid should be isotonic with the cells.
2.73 Glucose re-absorption
- A molecule is selected and is reabsorbed back into the blood.
- The molecule gets removed from the blood and is put back in.
- If there is glucose in urine, the person could have diabetes.
- There usually is no glucose in urine.
- In the first convoluted tubule glucose is removed and out back into the blood.
2.72 Water re-absorbtion
- When the ultrafiltration occurs in the Bowman's capsule, too much water is filtered.
- The water is removed from the filtrate.
- It is then added into the blood vessels.
- This is called selective reabsorption.
- As it passes through the Collecting Duct, water is removed from the filtrate.
