Question

The reabsorption of water and salts like sodium and calcium is maximum in ______.

• A. loop of Henle
• B. collecting tubule
• C. distal convoluted tubule
• D. proximal convoluted tubule

Answer 1

The correct option is D proximal convoluted tubule

$\bullet$ Maximum reabsorption of water and salts like sodium, calcium and potassium take place in proximal convoluted tubule (PCT).
$\bullet$ Reabsorption of other useful materials like amino acids, vitamins and glucose also take place in PCT.
$\bullet$ Reabsorption of salts, vitamins, amino acids and water take place in the loop of Henle and distal convoluted tubule (DCT) too, but at a minimum quantity.
