Vedclass · Answer

(A) The $Proximal 	ext{ Convoluted Tubule } (PCT)$ is responsible for the reabsorption of $70-80\%$ of electrolytes and water.The $Henle's 	ext{ loop}$ plays a significant role in the maintenance of high osmolarity of medullary interstitial fluid.The $Distal 	ext{ Convoluted Tubule } (DCT)$ is a site for conditional reabsorption of $Na^+$ and water.The $Ascending 	ext{ limb of Henle's loop}$ is impermeable to water and allows only the transport of electrolytes, making it the region where reabsorption is minimal compared to other segments of the nephron.

In which part of the nephron is reabsorption minimum from the filtrate?
