Adaptation of a Nephron for Selective Reabsorption
- a) Length: Provides a large surface area for material reabsorption.
- b) Tubule Structure: Made of a simple layer of cells to facilitate easy osmosis.
- c) Capillary Network: Surrounded by dense capillaries for efficient diffusion.
- d) Mitochondria: Supply ATP for active transport processes.
- e) Membrane Foldings: Highly folded membranes (villi) increase the area for reabsorption.
