2.71 Water re-absorbtion

The Glomera Filtrate (glucose, H20, salts and urea) in the Bowmans Capsule makes its way to the collecting ducts.


Water is re-absorbed into the blood in the collecting duct.

                               "Water re-absorbtion occurs in the collecting duct"

Question: is it high pressure in the nephron that makes the glomera filtrate move on to the collecting duct?
Yes. Fluid entering the BC is in pressure.
