* Aquaporins solve this problem
* Aquaporins solve this problem
'''The reabsorption in the proximal tubule and loop of henle occurs as water follows the reabsorbed sodium via osmosis.'''
* '''The reabsorption in the proximal tubule and loop of henle occurs as water follows the reabsorbed sodium via osmosis.'''
* The protein osmotic pressure coupled with the hydrostatic pressure of the [[Peritubular Capillaries - Anatomy & Physiology|pertubular capillaries]] effects the volume of water excreted or conserved also.
