Question

In which part of the nephron the sodium and potassium are reabsorbed from the tubular fluid?

Answer 1

Nephron:

• The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney in the excretory system.
• The nephron is composed of the following elements: Bowman's Capsule, Proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule.
• The nephron filters blood and reabsorbs blood again to fetch any useful material for the body before getting it removed as urine.

The part where sodium and potassium are reabsorbed from the tubular fluid:

• The part where sodium and potassium are reabsorbed from the tubular fluid is ascending limb of the loop of Henle.
• The proximal convoluted tubule also reabsorbs sodium and potassium.
