===Sodium===
The majority (70%) of sodium is reabsorbed in the [[Proximal Tubule - Anatomy & Physiology| proximal tubule.]] It is reabsorbed into the cytosol of the epithelial cells either alone by [[Diffusion - Physiology| Diffusion]] through [[Transport Proteins - Physiology#Diffusion Through Water Filled Protein Channels|ion channels]] followed by water and chlorine or together with another product using a [[Transport Proteins - Physiology#Co-Transporters|co-transporter]].
