The maximum amount of electrolytes and water (70-80 per cent) from the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed in which part of the nephron?

A

Ascending limb of loop of Henle

B

Distal convoluted tubule

C

Proximal convoluted tubule

D

Descending limb of loop of Henle

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
From the Bowman's capsule the glomerular filtrate enters the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT). PCT is surrounded by a network of pertiubular capillaries and is the seat of reabsorption. About 75% of glomerular filtrate is normally reabsorbed in PCT before reaching the loop of Henle.
The reabsorbed meterials include glucose, amino acids, vitamins, hormones, sodium, potassium, chlorides, phosphates, bicarbonates, most of the water and some urea, etc.

Assertion: Tubular secretion removes foreign bodies ions and molecules from the body. Reason: As much as 99 per cent of the material in the filtrate is reabsorbed from the body because of tubular secretion.

coagultion is the process by which the dispersed phase of a colloid is made to aggregate and thereby separtate from the continuous phase. The minimum concetration of an eletrolyte in milli-moles per litre of the electrolyte solution which required to cause the caogultion of colloidal sol is called coagution value . therefroe higher is the coagulatings power of effective ion, smaller will be the coagultion value of the electrolyte. coagultion value propto = 1/("coagulating power") the coagulation values of differnt electrolytes are different . this behavious can be easily uderstood by Harby - schulze rule which states. the greater is the valency of the effective ion grreater is its coagulating power," which one had the highest coagulating powe?
