The basic functions of human kidneys in the production of urine include all the following except:
1. Glomerular filtration | 2. Tubular reabsorption |
3. Tubular secretion | 4. Erythropoietin production |
The reabsorption, from the filtrate, of sodium, glucose and amino acids:
1. involves the Bowman's capsule
2. is restricted to the loop of Henle
3. occurs mainly in the proximal convoluted tubules
4. occurs mainly by osmosis
