HSC 2100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 43: Connecting Tubule, Hemoglobin, Osmosis
Document Summary
Found between the bowmans" capsule and the loop of henle. Location where active reabsorption of nutrients into the blood occurs based on brain feedback, water movement thus follows via osmosis. Location where poisons and medication are loaded into the nephron aka "secreted" from the blood via active transport. Middle tube of the nephron, between the proximal and distal tubes. Location where water passively leaves the nephron via osmosis and salts passively diffuses back into the blood. Second last tube of the nephron, between the loop of henle and the collecting tubule. Another site of active salt reabsorption and passive water reabsorption. Disk shaped, bi concave cells that do not contain a nucleus. Rely on behavioural adaptions to control internal temperature. Internal temperature is maintained independent of the ambient temperature. Animals that neither posses nor develop a vertebrate (segmented spinal) column. Sugar diffuses from source cells into phloem tube sieve cells.
