Produce a diagram explaining the reabsorption of Ca2+ and Mg2+
at the proximal tubule of a nephron. Are these processes examples
of paracellular or transcellular transport? What is the driving
force that maintains these transport mechanisms?

Indicate the functions of the proximal convoluted tubule, the
loop of Henle, the distal convoluted tubule, and the collecting
ducts and how is the fluid passes through each one.

to distal, and briefly state their function
2. Identify the accessory digestive organs and briefly state
their function
