I need some information on the nephron and H+ ions. My book just has it in a diagram, but the diagram talks mostly about the K+ ion relationship. Can someone just give the gist of the H+ relationship with the nephron?

thanks

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words " nephron H+ relationship" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
