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 part of the nephron drains into the loop of henle?

The proximal convoluted tubule drains into the loop of Henle.


Is creatinine reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule?

No, creatinine is not actively reabsorbed by the proximal convoluted tubule. Instead, it is freely filtered at the glomerulus and excreted in the urine. The amount of creatinine excreted is used to estimate kidney function.


What are the parts of a nephron in order?

The parts of a nephron in order are the renal corpuscle (glomerulus and Bowman's capsule), proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle (descending and ascending limbs), distal convoluted tubule, and collecting duct.


What is the section of the renal tubule closest to the glomerular capsule?

The proximal convoluted tubule is closest to the glomerular capsule. The distal convoluted tubule is farther away.


Where does selective reabsorption takes place?

The proximal convoluted tubule


In the kidney where does most secretion occur?

Tubular secretion occurs in the distal convoluted tubes. The secretion also happens in the collecting ducts and also in the proximal convoluted tubule.
