Microvilli are the finger like projections present on the outer surface of the cell. Their function is to increase the surface area of the cells through which the diffusion of materials both into and out of the cell occur. They are also involved in absorption, secretion and cellular adhesion.
it will increase the surface area of the cell
increase surface area for absorption

The distal tubule
About 90 % of the fitered sodium chlorid in glomerulus is reabsorbed in proximal convoluted tubules.

The reabsorption of glucose occurs primarily through the walls of the proximal convoluted tubule. It is found in the nephrons of the kidney.
Proximal convoluted tubules have brush borders or microvilli on the inner edge of the tubule. Distal convoluted tubules do not have this structure.

Proximal Convoluted Tubule
yes, it's true
The Proximal Convoluted Tubule
the three main portions of the renal tubule are the proximal convoluted tubule, the loop of henle, and the distal convoluted tubule. the proximal convoluted tubule is the first portion. The proximal (convulated) tubule.
The distal convoluted tubule or the collecting tube.
Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of henle and Distal convoluted tubule.
no
The distal tubule
About 90 % of the fitered sodium chlorid in glomerulus is reabsorbed in proximal convoluted tubules.
