The flow of filtrate through the tubules is elevated. Complete the following statements to indicate the effects of this high rate of flow. The descriptive terms may be used once, more than once, or not at all.

flow through the renal tubule increases when glomerular filtration rate
When filtrate flow through the renal tubule increases, reabsorption of sodium chloride by the tubule

A. decreases
B. releasing
C. vasoconstricting
D. not releasing
E. increases
F. vasodilating

- Flow through the renal tubule increases when glomerular filtration rate increases.

- When filtrate flow through the renal tubule increases, reabsorption of sodium chloride by the tubule decreases.

Explanation:

Renal tubules are structures that form part of the nephron -a functional unit of the kidney - whose function is the reabsorption of glomerular filtrate and the secretion of waste products, in addition to regulating the balance of water and body electrolytes.

The renal tubules are divided into:

The renal tubules are capable of reabsorbing 99% of the glomerular filtrate. The rate of glomerular filtrate is about 120 milliliters per minute, and the tubular flow depends on it, so if the glomerular filtrate increases, the amount of filtered fluid increases as well as the amount that flows through the renal tubule.

The water excreted by the kidney contains electrolytes -such as sodium, potassium, and chlorine- which it carries to the kidney's tubules. In order to achieve equilibrium, the tubules are responsible for reabsorbing and secreting electrolytes to maintain homeostasis.

However, certain conditions cause the tubular flow to increase, which prevents the adequate reabsorption of some electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, decreasing their reabsorption and increasing their excretion, as happens with the use of diuretic drugs.

E. increases

A. decreases

Explanation:

- Flow through the renal tubule increases when glomerular filtration rate increases.

- When filtrate flow through the renal tubule increases, reabsorption of sodium chloride by the tubule decreases.

an active site is a region that is present on an enzyme where the reactants or the substrate molecules we can say bind and experience a chemical reaction. the substrate is basically a reactant whose concentration is changing and that is converting into a product after binding at the active site of an enzyme

it depends on how much it could carry.
