Where are all the proximal and distal convoluted tubules of the kidney located?
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
The portion of the nephron that is between the proximal and distal convoluted tubules is the?
Loop of Henle
What are the similarities between the distal tubule and the proximal tubule?
- proximal tubule : • Selective reabsorption of nutrients from filtrate back into blood by active and passive transport. • Within proximal tubule, pH is controlled by secretion of hydrogen ions (H1) and reabsorption of bicarbonate ions (HCO32). - distal tubule • Selective reabsorption of nutrients from blood into nephron by active transport. Distal tubule helps regulate potassium (K1) and salt (NaCl) concentration of body fluids. • As in proximal tubule, pH is controlled by tubular secretion of hydrogen ions (H1) and reabsorption of bicarbonate ions (HCO32).
Distal convoluted tubules flow directly into what structures?
The structures that distal tubes flow into are the collecting ducts of the kidneys. The collecting ducts are small tubes through which urine flows into the renal pelvis.
Where does obligatory water reabsorption occur?
Between tubular elements and vascular elements of the nephron beginnings with the proximal convoluted tubule and continuing at least part way into the distal tubule.
In which region of the nephron does secretion occur?
The distal tubule
What histological feature distinguishes proximal convoluted tubule from a distal convoluted tubule?
Proximal convoluted tubules have brush borders or microvilli on the inner edge of the tubule. Distal convoluted tubules do not have this structure.
What is the primary site of tubular reabsorption in the kidneys?
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.

What is the medical term meaning portion of a nephron that is active in filtering urine?
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.
Anti duretic hormone increases absorption of?
It increase the reabsorption of water. That is from distal convaluted tubules
Which part of the kidney is reabsorption dependent upon the body's needs at the time and regulated by hormones?
Distal convoluted tubule
What hormone from the adrenal cortex will cause the distal convoluted tubules to reabsorb more sodium ions?
adh
Most electrolyte reabsorption by the renal tubes?
Tubular reabsorption takes place in the kidneys. It specifically occurs in nephrons, microscopic tubular structures (Proximal Convoluted Tubule-PRIMARY & Distal Convoluted tubule-SECONDARY) of the kidney that number in the millions.
