reabsorption of most of the required substances from the filtrate
Proximal convoluted tubules have brush borders or microvilli on the inner edge of the tubule. Distal convoluted tubules do not have this structure.
If you are talking about the proximal/distal convoluted tubules. Then you are talking about a kidney, and in between them is the nephron loop or the Loop of Henle
Simple Cuboidal with Microvilli
The Bowman's Capsule is part of a Nephron, which would be found in the Kidney. It's function is to collect the filtrate from the Glomerulus, passing it on to the Proximal Convoluted Tubules (PCT's); subsequently, to the rest of the Nephron.
The Proximal convoluted tubules, descending loop , ascending loop of henle and the distal convoluted tubules. Though the collecting ducts determine the final concentration of urine, an author states that it's not a part of the nephron.
The portion of the nephron between the proximal and distal convoluted tubules is the Loop of Henle. This segment plays a crucial role in reabsorbing water and controlling the concentration of urine by creating a concentration gradient in the kidney medulla.
The reabsorption of glucose primarily occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron in the kidney. Glucose is filtered out of the blood in the glomerulus, and then most of it is reabsorbed back into the bloodstream in the proximal convoluted tubule to prevent its loss in the urine.
At the proximal convoluted tubule, reabsorption of water, glucose, amino acids, and ions (such as sodium, potassium, and chloride) from the filtrate back into the bloodstream occurs. Waste products and toxins are also secreted into the tubule for excretion in the urine.
The network of convoluted tubules primarily refers to the structure found in the kidney, specifically within the nephrons, which are the functional units of the kidney. These tubules, including the proximal and distal convoluted tubules, play a crucial role in the reabsorption of water, ions, and nutrients from the filtrate, as well as the secretion of waste products. Their convoluted shape increases the surface area for these processes, enhancing the efficiency of filtration and reabsorption in the renal system. Overall, this network is essential for maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.
The largest amount of solute and water reabsorption from filtered fluid occurs in the proximal convoluted tubules, which reabsorb 65% of the filtered water, Na+, and K+; 100% of most filtered organic solutes such as glucose and amino acids; 50% of the filtered Cl-; 80-90% of the filtered HCO3-; 50% of the filtered urea; and a variable amount of the filtered Ca2+, Mg2+, and HPO42- (phosphate). In addition, proximal convoluted tubules secrete a variable amount of H+ ions, ammonium ions (NH4+), and urea. So your answer is 65%
Reabsorption primarily occurs in the proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron in the kidney. This is where the majority of essential substances such as water, glucose, amino acids, and ions are reabsorbed back into the bloodstream from the filtrate.
