Solvent drag
Solvent drag, also known as bulk transport, refers to
ion pumps or other membrane transport proteins.[1] This is a phenomenon primarily in renal physiology
, but it also occurs in gastrointestinal physiology.
It generally occurs in the
tubular cells
.
It is seen e.g. in the passive transport in renal sodium reabsorption, renal chloride reabsorption as well as renal urea handling.
