such as chloride are transported passively along with sodium. (3)H2O:i)In proximal tubule,the reabsorption of water is accompanied with the reabsorption ofsolutes. ii)In distal tubule and collecting duct water reabsorption is regulated by the condition ofbody. (4)Glucose:A specific carrier protein in the brush border combines with a sodium ion and a glucose molecule at the same time.The transport mechanism is so efficient that it removes virtually all the glucose from the tubular lumen.After entry into the cell,glucose exits across the basolateral membranes by facilitated diffusion,driven by the high glucose concentration in the cell.

The epithelial cells of the distal tubule and collecting duct produce NH3 during the process ofmetabolism. NH,in the cells diffuses into the lumen through the luminal membrane because the membrane is highly permeable to it.NH3 in the tubular fluid combines with secreted H+to form NH4+.NH4+is excreted in the urine.Therefore.NH;secretion is closely related to the H+secretion. 3.3 Secretion ofK+ The distal tubule and collecting tubule secrete K+in K+-Na+exchange process.
