Solution

The proximal convoluted tubule is involved in reabsorption of 70-80 of electrolytes.
The distal Convoluted tubule is involved in secretion of hydrogen. Potassium ions and NH3 in order to maintain pH and sodium-potassium balance in the blood (ionic balance).
Henle loop (the descending limb ) is permeable to water but almost impermeable to electrolytes. This concentrates the urine (filtrate ) as it moves down.
Countercurrent mechanisms help to maintain a concentration gradient in the medullary interstitium of the kidney.
Renal corpuscle involves filtration of blood via glomerulus and Bowman's capsule.
