Question

What is the function of kidney
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ultrafiltration and reabsorption in the kidney are carried out by its functional unit called nephron. Ultrafiltration occurs between the glomerulus and Bowman's capsule of the nephron. Ultrafiltration, selective reabsorption, and passive absorption all occur in the kidneys during the process of urine formation specifically in the nephron. Ultrafiltration means the diffusion of blood, including plasma to nephron to be filtered. Red blood cells and plasma protein cannot pass through ultrafiltration membrane because their size is toobig. Reabsorption includes the active and passive transport. Water is absorbed by osmosis or via aquaporin. Ions (e.g:Na+) is reabsorbed by active transport while glucose, amino acids, and small hydrophobic molecule can reabsorb by diffusion or facilitated diffusion. The process of reabsorption occurs in the renal tubule.
