Multiple choice

In which part of nephron is reabsorption minimum from filtrate?

  1. Henle's loop

  2. Proximal convoluted tubule

  3. Distal convoluted tubule

  4. Collecting duct

C Correct answer
Explanation

Of the nephron segments listed, the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) has the minimum reabsorption. The proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) reabsorbs about 65% of filtrate, Henle's loop reabsorbs significant water and solutes, while the DCT only fine-tunes electrolyte balance. The collecting duct can reabsorb large amounts of water under ADH influence.
