The graph below depicts the change in tubular fluid concentration of various substances along the length of the proximal tubule plotted as the tubular fluid-to-plasma concentration ratio (TF/P)

Thus the TF/P = 1 for a substance that is at the same concentration in the tubular fluid and plasma (all substances that are freely filtered have a TF/P equal to 1 at the glomerulus).

Match the following substances to the appropriate TF/P curve.

Na+


ANS: C
