Question
when the plasma concentration of a substance exceeds its renal concentration, more of the substance will be
filtered.
excreted.
reabsorbed.
secreted.
none of the above
Renal excretion depends on filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. When plasma concentration of a substance exceeds its renal (tubular) concentration, the concentration gradient favors movement from plasma to tubule, increasing secretion (active/passive transport into tubule). Filtration is limited by glomerular filtration rate, reabsorption decreases excretion, and excretion is the end result (not the direct process here).
