Tubular function continued

Glomerular filtrate quantity 180L /day

Urine formation - 1-2 L/day

The composition of glomerular filtrate and urine are very different.

So, its the tubule in between which is changing the quantity and the quality of the tubular fluid.

What does it do ?

How it does that ?

Is it regulated ?

Proximal tubule sodium , glucose, amino acid and water reabsorption.....

Intercalated cells secrete hydrogen

Principal cell secrete potassium.
