Regarding the proximal tubule, the following statements are true EXCEPT:

Question

TuteeHUB · Accepted Answer

water moves passively out of the tubule along osmotic gradients

TuteeHUB · Answer

sodium is co-transported out of the tubule with glucose

TuteeHUB · Answer

sodium is actively transported into the intercellular spaces by Na-K-ATPase

TuteeHUB · Answer

the cells are characterised by a brush border and tight junctions

TuteeHUB · Answer

vasopressin increases the permeability to water by causing the rapid insertion of water channels into the luminal membrane
