Proximal Convoluted Tubule: Reabsorption In The Nephron
The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the nephron, is responsible for the reabsorption of essential nutrients, ions, and water. The PCT receives the glomerular filtrate from the Bowman’s capsule and reabsorbs approximately 65% of filtered sodium, chloride, and water; 100% of glucose and amino acids; and up to 80% … Read more
