Question: An antibiotic circulating in the blood passes through the kidneys. Only a minuscule amount of it passes from the glomerular capillary into the glomerular filtrate. When its presence in the urine is measured, it has been almost completely excreted. How is this possible?
Answer Choices: A. The antibiotic is actively transported into the proximal tubule during tubular secretion.; B. Stimulation from nerves causes the efferent arteriole to constrict and force the antibiotic through the glomerular capillary into the filtrate.; C. During the process of reabsorption, flow of water across the tubular membrane into the peritubular capillary passively encourages the antibiotic to cross the opposite way.; D. Sodium ions crossing into the blood of the peritubular capillary increases osmotic pressure and forces the antibiotic into the proximal tubule.
Answer: A. The antibiotic is actively transported into the proximal tubule during tubular secretion.
