Where does the selective reabsorption of glomerular filtrate take place?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The selective reabsorption of glomerular filtrate takes place in Proximal Convoluted Tubules (PCT) and Distal Convoluted Tubules (DCT).
In PCT all essential elements nutrients, 70-`80%` of electrolytes and water is absorbed whereas, Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) is involved in conditional reabsorption of `Na^(+)` and water.
