Which of the following does not have a Tm value?
Transpo maximum (Tm) or tubular maximum : is the maximum amount of a substance that can be transpoed across the tubule (reabsorbed or secreted) per unit time.E.g., glucose has a Tm value of 320 mg/min. Reabsorption or secretion of most substances is mediated by their respective carrier proteins in the wall of the tubules. Tm implies saturation of the carrier. Since Na+ reabsorption primarily involves the activity of Na+/K+ pump which does not exhibit saturation kinetics, Na+ reabsorption does not have a Tm value.
Na+
Urea
Creatinine
Glucose
Excretory System (Kidney, Bladder) Acid-Base Balance
