Question

Removal of proximal convoluted tubule from the nephron will result in

• A. No change in quality and quantity of urine
• B. No urine formation
• C. More diluted urine
• D. More concentrated urine

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

More diluted urine

PCT helps in absorption of glucose, amino acids, sodium and potassium along with absorption of water. Removal of proximal convoluted tubule from the nephron results in lack of reabsorption of high threshhold substances from renal tubules, and obligatory reabsorption of water is also affected leading to more diluted urine.

So, the correct answer is 'More diluted urine'.
