What force(s) creates passive transport of water in the proximal tubule?
A)Peritubular capillary hydrostatic pressure
B)Peritubular capillary oncotic and osmotic pressures
C)Interstitial hydrostatic pressure
D)Interstitial oncotic and osmotic pressures

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The osmotic force generated by active sodium transport promotes the passive diffusion of water out of the tubular lumen and into the peritubular capillaries. Passive transport of water is further enhanced by the elevated oncotic pressure of the blood in the peritubular capillaries.
